There's honey in this pie. I don't mean to be picky, but that's definitely not vegan.

@davidvanwinkle1 You are correct David. Honey makes this not a vegan recipe. To Chef Brooks credit she did not advertise this as a vegan dish. My bad for putting vegan in the description. I'll correct that right now. Thanks for watching and bringing this to my attention!

@HealthForward Thanks for fixing that. I tried this recipe with brown rice syrup in place of the honey; it was delicious!
