'Death by Apple Pie'

Recipe: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=19319.0

Made this last Saturday.

I think in future i will use less sugar as it totally ruined the taste of the apples. I also plan on mashing the apples in puree so that the texture is nicer and perhaps using Jus Rol for the top pastry and i didn't really like the sugary topping. My plan is to try making mini-pies the next time i try this. Then i can have them as snacks rather than just as pudding.

Vegan Sweet Potato Pie

Taken from 3/8/10 post on my creative blog, the Rouse.

"Made some Vegan Sweet Potato Pie today. My first proper Vegan dish instead of using frozen nut cutlets or bean burgers. It's really yummy :D. But i left out the corn flour so it didn't set as well as it might've."

Edits to original recipe:

• Didn't add cornflour (wanted to see what it did - it apparently makes it glue together better)
  
• Didn't use Vanilla extract ('cause i didn't have any)
• The 'Vegan pie dish' i used was in fact some Shortcrust Jus Rol Pastry (from Asda - it'll be in the frozen section of most supermarkets and it's a well known product in the UK so it shouldn't be too hard to find/ask for) which is Vegan.
• Used some Alpro Soya cream to finish it. But i'm trying to find a way of avoiding soya altogether (perhaps making my own oat milk cream?) because Soya is a major cause of deforestation.
