Do you happen to have left over almond pulp from making your almond milk? Can't figure out what to do with to do with it? You are going to be amazed at how beautiful and rich this pie crust is going to be. Apple pie is one of the most comforting desserts that I grew up on. The smell from the oven takes me back to my childhood, to memories of being unable to resist a second and a third round. Today however; as I live a healthier lifestyle, I no longer use butter or margarine. So how can I have a crust that doesn’t break apart? I’ve been experimenting how to use the almond pulp I have in my freezer and I’m happy to share a beautiful combination of really healthy alternatives to the must have crust we all love.
