Ingredients Galore!
Gather up these bad boys for your apple pie extravaganza:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup coconut oil, solid (not melted!)
- 6-8 tbsp cold water
- 6-8 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or your favorite kind)
- ¾ cup brown sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Vegan butter for dotting (optional)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we’re prepped and ready, here’s how to whip up this pie:
- First things first, preheat that oven to 400°F (200°C). We want it nice and toasty in there!
- In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar together. Cut in the coconut oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the cold water one tablespoon at a time until you form a dough. Don’t overdo it; we want a nice flaky crust!
- Divide the dough in half, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Go do the moonwalk or something in the meantime.
- Now onto the filling—peeled and sliced apples go into a bowl. Toss them with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch until everything is coated like a good ol’ spa treatment.
- Roll out one half of the pie crust to fit your pie pan. Place it in the pan and fill with the apple mixture.
- Roll out the second half of the crust and place it over the top. Cut slits to let steam escape (we don’t want any mini explosions in the oven, do we?). Seal the edges, and say a little prayer for those crust flavors!
- If you like, dot the top with vegan butter for an extra touch of yumminess.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until the crust is golden and the apples are bubbling like they just won the pie lottery!
- Let it cool for a bit before slicing. Trust me, you don’t want to burn your tongue on this heavenly goodness!
And there you have it! A stunning Classic Vegan Apple Pie that’s bound to impress everyone around the table. Serve it with a scoop of vegan ice cream (because why not?) and get ready for compliments to fly your way. Now, who’s ready for a slice?
