  6. Simmer for 1 more minute, stirring constantly, until the filling thickens.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the walnuts or pecans and cinnamon.
  8. Allow the filling to cool completely to room temperature.
  9. Spoon the cooled filling into the unbaked vegan pie crust.
  10. Arrange strips of dough over the top to create a lattice pattern.
