Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup vegan butter, chilled and cubed
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon almond milk
• 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled vegan butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Meanwhile, prepare the strawberry filling. In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, cornstarch, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the strawberries evenly.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the rolled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Spoon the strawberry filling onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
7. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating it as you go to create a rustic look.
8. Brush the edges of the dough with almond milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar for a golden crust.
9. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling.
10. Remove from the oven and let the tart cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
11. Serve the Vegan Rustic Strawberry Tart warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
