Description

This Vegan Apple Pie features a flaky lattice crust filled with tender, cinnamon-spiced apples cooked to perfection. Made entirely without animal products, this pie is a delightful plant-based twist on a classic dessert, perfect for any occasion. The apples are simmered with lemon juice, vegan butter, and warming spices before being encased in a golden vegan pie crust, then baked until bubbly and crisp.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 2 vegan pie crusts

Apple Filling

  • 4-5 medium-sized apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter (margarine)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk (for brushing pie crust)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple filling: Peel and slice the apples evenly. Place them in a large saucepan and add lemon juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon, vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 10-15 minutes until the apples are softened. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
  2. Prepare the bottom crust: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). On a floured surface, roll out one vegan pie crust to about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it carefully to a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess dough from the edges.
  3. Assemble the pie: Spoon the cooled apple filling into the prepared crust, mounding slightly in the center. Roll out the second pie crust and cut into strips to create a lattice pattern or place the whole crust on top with slits cut for steam to escape. Arrange the crust strips over the filling in a lattice or place the full top crust and cut slits.
  4. Brush the crust: Lightly brush the top crust with non-dairy milk to promote browning and a shiny finish during baking.
  5. Bake the pie: Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Cover the edges with foil or a pie shield if they brown too quickly. Once baked, allow the pie to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Slice and serve your vegan apple pie with a dollop of vegan whipped cream or non-dairy ice cream for an extra comforting touch.

Notes

  • You can use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a more complex flavor.
  • If the filling seems too runny after cooking, add a little extra flour or cornstarch next time for thickening.
  • Letting the pie cool before slicing helps the filling set and prevents it from running.
  • To avoid soggy bottom crust, ensure the filling is cooled before placing it in the crust.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
