- 1 1/2 cups flour shopping list
- 1/2 cup spelt flour shopping list
- 1/4 cup ground pecans shopping list
- 1 tsp cinnamon shopping list

- 5.8 oz (3/4 cup) shortening shopping list
- 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar shopping list

How to make it
- In a small dish, whisk together flaxseed and hot water. Set into the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile whisk together flours, pecan meal, cinnamon and salt.
- Cut in shortening until a coarse-meal texture forms.
- Stir in vinegar and flax mixture, then add only enough water so the mixture becomes a dough.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and knead briefly (don't work it too much), then roll out into a large circle and fit into a 9" deep-dish pie pan. Place into the fridge while preparing the filling.
- Preheat oven to 425F and place the rack on the bottom rung of the oven.
- In a food processor, puree tofu, vanilla, apple butter, pumpkin, sugar, syrup, salt, spice, egg and evaporated milk until perfectly smooth.
- Spread into the crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 425F, then reduce oven to 350F and bake a further 45 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and let the pie sit inside for 1 hour, then remove and cool to room temperature before cutting (ideally, chill this overnight - the flavours really blend well!)
