Vegan Apple Pie Recipe

Vegan Apple Pie recipe

Learn how to make a flaky Vegan Apple Pie from scratch! There's no better way to use up those freshly-picked apples than to make a homemade apple pie!

Ingredients

2 vegan pie crusts (Use one for the base and the other for the top lattice work )
3 lbs apples (peeled, cored and chopped into large chunks (I used a mix of 1/3 golden delicious and 2/3 honey crisp))
2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup cane sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup vegan butter
½ tbsp vanilla extract
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ tablespoons water (mixed together with the cornstarch)

Method

1
In a large bowl, add in your chopped apple pies. Pour over the lemon juice, sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and sea salt and stir to combine thoroughly. Set aside.
2
Heat a large pan to medium heat. Melt the vegan butter. Once melted and slightly sizzling, add in the apple mixture.
3
Reduce heat to medium low and cook down the apples for 7-8 minutes, until slightly tender, stirring occasionally. At the end of the 7-8 minutes, add in the cornstarch slurry and the vanilla extract and stir for one minute then remove from the heat.
4
Remove pan from heat and allow the apples to cool, about 15-20 minutes. You can preheat your oven in the meantime and/or make your pie crust while it's cooking. Remember you need two - one for the base, and another for the top,
5
Preheat your oven to 425°F/220°C. You will lower this later on. Shape out your pie crust for your base into your pie dish, crimping the edges.
6
Add the apples into the base of the pie crust (using a 9” pie dish). Using a spatula, smooth over the top.
7
Remove the second pie crust from the fridge for about 5 to 10 minutes, or according to the recipe you’re using or directions of the pie crust. Using a rolling pin, roll out the second pie crust into a disc. Slice into thin rectangular strips. Layer them in a lattice work pattern on top of the pie crust vertically, and then alternating every strip, add a horizontal strip until the entire top is evenly covered. Snip off the edges and pinch down into the bottom pie crust to connect them seamlessly.
8
Brush with a vegan egg wash such as a vegan egg replacement like just egg. Sprinkle some extra sugar all over the top of the pie.
9
Place your pie in the oven on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F/220°C. Then reduce heat to 350°F/180°C and bake for 45 minutes. Watch your pie crust during the last 30 minutes - if it starts to brown, be sure to tent it with foil all around the pie.
10
Remove your pie and allow to cool completely; at room temperature for at least 2 hours, and then in the fridge for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight. Slice into it, serve with some ice cream, and enjoy!
