Fruit Explosion Pie

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 ziplock bag frozen rhubarb regular size, I guess it would be around 250g
  • at least 4-5 c mixture of frozen berries
  • 4 fresh apples sliced
  • 1 tbsp vegan margarine
  • 1/4 c sugar more if you like sweeter, as you know rhubarb is tangy/sweet and sour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

Pie Dough

  • 100 ml lukewarm DF milk
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp golden flax meal
  • 6 tbsp water
  • 2 c AP flour
  • 1 c pastry & cake flour
  • 6 tbsp sugar

Instructions

Filling

  • give a quick rinse of frozen fruits, and place it in non-stick pan
  • add in sugar and margarine, cook until fruits soften
  • sprinkle with cornstarch and stir
  • cook until thickened, cool to room temperature

Pie Dough

  • In a bowl, mix then let bloom for 5 minutes, milk, sugar, yeast
  • On a separate bowl, mix and let stand until slimey, flax, water, chia
  • On a large bowl, mix flours and sugar
  • pour yeast and flax mixture into flour, stir, then knead in 180 g vegan margarine
  • divide dough into big lump and small lump, big for pie crust while small for face and decoration
  • brush a heart shape pan with vegan margarine
  • preheat oven to 375 F
  • roll the big dough and place onto greased pan, poke holes all over with fork
  • place sliced apples on crust then pour filling on-top of apples. My pan is deep, and I didn't make crazy amount of filling, this I had excess crust. I rolled the crust down until it touch the filling. So it's like making a barrier.
  • roll flat small dough and cut heart shape, smaller than pie pan. Decorate this heart as face.
  • place face as shown, and with food color, give face some make up ?
  • bake pie for 30 minutes and take pie out
  • brush pie with brown sugar solution (brown sugar with a pinch of cinnamon powder, dissolved in little water), and bake for another 10 minutes
