Ingredients
To create this mouth-watering pie, you will require the following ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup coconut oil or vegan butter, chilled
- 4-6 tbsp ice water
- 6-8 medium-sized apples, peeled and sliced (a mix of sweet and tart varieties is ideal)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- Non-dairy milk, for brushing the crust
- 1 tbsp sugar, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
Follow these steps to create the Classic Vegan Apple Pie:
- In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled coconut oil or vegan butter and mix until crumbly.
- Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Shape it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly and set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a pie dish. Place the bottom crust in the dish and fill it with the apple mixture.
- Roll out the second piece of dough for the top crust, and gently place it over the filling. Crimp the edges and cut slits for steam to escape. Brush the top with non-dairy milk and sprinkle sugar over it.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow the pie to cool before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy!
