Ingredients

2 ½ cups flour (plus more for dusting, *see notes)

3 tbsp sugar (*see notes)

½ tsp salt

1 cup vegan butter (diced and chilled)

4 tbsp cold water

2 lbs apples

½ cup sugar (*see notes)

2 tbsp cornstarch

1-2 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)

½ lemon (juiced)

a bit of plant milk / dairy-free cream or melted coconut oil

1 tbsp brown sugar

Method

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the vegan butter pieces and work it into the flour mixture with your hands. Gradually, add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, and knead just until the dough comes together. (Optionally, you could also put all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until a dough forms.)

Divide the dough in half and shape into a ball or disc. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least ½ hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

Peel and core the apples, then thinly slice.

Transfer to a large bowl and add sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are well-coated. Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough. Transfer to a greased pie dish* and gently press against the bottom and sides. Prick the bottom of the pie crust all over with a fork and then fill with the apples.

Now roll out the other half of the dough and cut into strips. Lay them on top of the pie to make a lattice design (or cover with the whole rolled out dough*). Trim the overhanging dough and crimp around the edges.

Optionally, use any leftover pastry to make decorations for the pie. Form the remaining dough into a ball, roll it out again, and cut out designs of choice using a cookie cutter. Then place them on top of the pie crust. (Watch the recipe video for more inspiration).

Brush the top of the pie with a little plant milk or cream or melted coconut oil and sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar.

Bake the pie for about 50-60 minutes until golden brown. Cover the sides or top with tin foil if it gets too dark during baking.

Let your Apple Pie cool before serving.

Serve with a dollop of vegan ice cream and extra syrup, if you like!

Enjoy!
