Gluten Free Vegan Cherry Pie

Jill Dalton
Cherry Pie is one of my favorite pies and especially when fall is here. What’s even better is when that pie is so good for you that you don’t have to feel guilty eating it. This Plant Based Vegan Cherry Pie nourishes you with cherries that are full of antioxidants and a healthy omega rich flax and almond crust. Your body and your tastebuds will be thanking you!

Are you using frozen dark cherries, and how large is the bag?

I made this pie yesterday to take to a pie party. I absolutely loved it!! So nummy! I doubled the cherries and other filling amounts but left the crust and crumble the same. I did need additional cook time because of this. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe! My husband wants me to use it to make home a peach pie next!

Did you use the cherries frozen or did you defrost them first?

If it’s not important to me to make this gluten-free, could I replace the tapioca flour with wheat or oat flour? Thanks! Looking forward to trying this for Easter this weekend.

I haven’t tried making it with tapioca or wheat flour but I think the oat flour would work.

So the cherries are still frozen when you use them?

Reply
Jill Dalton January 1, 2021 - 11:09 am

I do it that way just because I am impatient and usually don’t plan ahead to thaw them but it does better if they are thawed.

This is a nit to pick, but didn’t you say a cup and half of almond meal in the video when the recipe says 1 1/4 cup? Not that different, but I planning to use almond meal dried out from making almond milk and want to be as exact as I can.

Your recipe for the filling mentions 3 dates. You did not use them in the video. Can’t wait to make this Tuesday for my partners birthday. It’s the recipe he picked out.

Absolutely AMAZING! I I am always so incredibly surprised whenever a craving strikes and I can always rely on having a WFPB version that tastes even better and is making my body healthier! I didn’t even make the whole recipe. I simply made the filling and plopped it inside a sweet potato! 10/10
