This Vegan Saskatoon Berry Pie brings a slice of Canadian tradition to the vegan table. Laden with juicy Saskatoon berries, this pie doesn’t skimp on flavor, offering a symphony of sweet, tangy, and subtle almond-like tastes distinctive to these berries. Following a vegan diet or catering to dairy-free preferences does not mean having to skip on indulgent desserts, and this pie is a testament to that. Encased in a flaky, golden crust made without any animal products, the filling shines as the star, simmered to perfection, thickened with plant-based ingredients, and enhanced with a touch of lemon for balance. This pie not only satisfies sweet cravings but also serves as a delightful way to enjoy a piece of Canadian heritage in a plant-based format.

Method
30 min prep · 45 min cook
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the vegan butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, stirring until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate. Trim to 1/2 inch beyond the edge of the pie plate.
In a saucepan, combine Saskatoon berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute.
Pour filling into crust. Roll out the remaining dough; make a lattice crust. Trim, seal, and flute edges.
