INGREDIENTS
Vegan + Gluten Free Pie Crust (This recipe makes 2-[9-inch pie crusts])
- 2½ cups coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar [optional]
- 8 ounces coconut oil solid, cold
- ½ cup ice cold water
Perfect Vegan Apple Pie Filling
- 9 Medium apples I used gala apples
- ½ cup coconut sugar Plus more for topping on the crust
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Plus, more required for topping on the crust
- 1½ tablespoon cornstarch
- 1½ tablespoon water mixed together with cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons milk (cashew milk or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
INSTRUCTIONS
Make the Pie crust
- Add all the ingredients (for pie crust)except water to a food processor with an "S" handle. Pulse a few times until it forms a "coarse meal"
- With the food processor running, pour ice-cold water 6-7 tablespoons. You might need another tablespoon of water to bring it all together.
- Transfer the pie dough to a lightly floured kitchen surface. Use your hands to bring it together and shape it in the form of a ball.
- If the dough is too sticky, flour your hands and your rolling pin and add some more flour into the dough and bring it all together without overworking the dough.
- If the dough is too dry and crumbly dip your fingers in Ice cold water and add another 1-2 tablespoons of ice cold water. Bring it all together and shape it in the form of a ball.
- Divide the dough into two parts. Use a sharp knife to cut it into two halves.
- Lightly flour the rolling pin and start rolling from the center, pressing to the sides. Rotate the dough after each roll to ensure a smooth roll. Roll out the dough until it's about 12 inches in diameter.
- Wrap the dough over the rolling pin and gently transfer the pie crust into the pie dish.
- Flute the edges and use your fingers to tuck the pie crust all around the pie dish. If there is any excess dough around the edges, you can trim it off.
- Cover the remaining dough (for the top) using a plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready for use.
Make Apple Pie filling
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-inch pie dish with coconut oil
- Peel and chop apples into thin slices.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine sliced apples with ground cinnamon, cornstarch, and coconut sugar. I haven't used lemon juice because my apples were tarty. If you want, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice as well.
- Dump the apple pie filling into the Vegan Pie Crust. Use a spatula to distribute it evenly.
- Remove the remaining pie dough from the refrigerator. Unwrap the plastic wrap.Place it on a lightly floured kitchen surface.
- Roll out the second crust and cut it into thin 1-inch strips using a sharp knife.
- Place the thin strips over the apple pie filling, making a criss-cross pattern over the pie.
- In a small cup, combine vegan milk with ground turmeric. Stir well.
- Use a brush to brush the milk over the pie crust.
- Generously sprinkle some ground cinnamon and coconut sugar over the pie crust before it goes into the oven.
Bake
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for at least 45-50 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow the pie to cool down at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Cut into slices and enjoy with a dollop of coconut cream or any vegan ice cream.
