1 1/2 tablespoons instant tapioca
1/3 to 1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 count 9 inch pie crusts (check ingredients)
a little bit of soy margarine (not completely necessary, but it improves the pie a bit)

2. Pour the ingredients into one of the crusts.
3. Roll out other crust flat and cut it into strips over floured board with floured rolling pin. Dot top of filling with margarine (if you're leaving out the margarine, then just don't do that part), then place the strips of pastry on top in a criss-cross or basket weave format. OR Roll out other crust flat over floured board with floured rolling pin. Dot top of filling with margarine (if you're leaving out hte margarine, then just don't do that part), then lay the rolled out pastry on top.
