Ingredients

  • 2 cups all
  • purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup cold coconut oil
  • 6 tablespoons ice water
  • 5 large apples, peeled and sliced (preferably Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
  • 3/4 cup vegan sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted (for brushing)
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons raw cane sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in cold coconut oil using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. In a large bowl, toss apple slices with vegan sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until evenly coated.
  4. Remove one dough disk from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Transfer to the plate and trim excess dough. Fill with the apple mixture.
  5. Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the apples. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust for steam release.
  6. Brush the top of the pie with melted vegan butter and almond milk. Sprinkle with raw cane sugar and a pinch of salt.
  7. Bake for 45 50 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
