Vegan Apple Rhubarb Pie

Happy February, y’all! I sure hope each and every one of you who took part had a good ol’ time with Veganuary. Maybe it even sparked your interest to keep on movin’ forward into February with it. Now, don’t matter if you’re still on the vegan train or not, today I’m sharin’ an absolutely mouthwatering vegan apple rhubarb pie recipe that you’re bound to adore.

This here dessert is a delectable dance of sweet and sour. Imagine a crumbly pie crust filled to the brim with crisp apples and tart rhubarb, all wrapped up in a smooth, slightly caramelized vanilla custard sauce. Sound too good to be true? Well my darlins’, it’s not!

Now listen here – this pie needs a few hours to set just right so the slices don’t fall apart on ya’. Don’t take it the wrong way though, that filling is pure bliss when it’s piping hot straight from the oven. And if you don’t mind things gettin’ a touch messy…well go ahead!

I can understand if y’all can’t wait and want to dig in straight away – waiting for food sometimes feels like an eternity. Trust me, I know that struggle.

But if you’ve got some patience let this baby set properly and not only will your taste buds be dancin’, but she’ll be mighty pretty too. Especially when those pink rhubarbs peak out through that beautiful lattice pie crust.

And while we’re chattin’ about pie crusts…if y’all are followin’ me over on Instagram (and really darlings, ya should), you might have noticed I’ve been experimentin’ with different pie crust styles and decorations recently. Been test drivin’ some crimped edges, braids, lattice tops – reckon flowers might be next up! What do y’all think?
