Math wizard or not, everyone can appreciate Pi Day. On March 14, the world celebrates this mathematical constant (3.14…) which represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. On Pi Day, the only circles we’re interested in are pies. To prepare, we’ve compiled a list of the eleven vegan pies you can bake at home.
