Allergens

Nuts (Almonds), Soy (in the vegan butter)

Ingredients

  • 3 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (preferably Golden Delicious or Gala)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold vegan butter, cubed
  • 1 pre
  • made vegan pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the cold vegan butter cubes to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture forms a coarse crumble. Set aside 1/4 cup of the crumble for later.
  4. Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern over the bottom of the vegan pie crust, slightly overlapping them.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining crumble evenly over the apples. Press gently to secure it in place.
  6. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40 45 minutes or until the crust and crumble are golden brown. If needed, cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil to prevent over browning.
  7. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Chef’s Insight

Using a variety of apple types adds depth and complexity to the pie's flavor profile. - Cold vegan butter is essential for achieving the right crumble texture, so keep it chilled until needed.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties or crumble combinations for unique flavor profiles. - Serve the pie warm or at room temperature for optimal enjoyment.

Cultural or Historical Background
