-The best easy Vegan Apple Pie-

Sharing is caring!

Apple pie is another one high up on the list for delicious pies for me. And what I love most about the best easy vegan apple pie is that it truly is easy. There is no messing with a difficult pie crust. You make a quick and easy dough (similar to making cookies), put a layer on the bottom and top. No rolling or careful mixing. It’s easy peasy.

The longest part about the recipe is A. the cooking time and B. the apple part. If you have an apple peeler and corer than you’re off to a good start. If you do not you can still get the job done. You just have to hand do it. The trickiest part about apple pie is getting the apples to the proper thinness.

Why is thinness important in apples? Well, if your apple pie slices are too thick they won’t cook quick enough and then you’ll have a crunchy apple pie. I don’t think many people like crunchy apple pies. So cut those babies thin and you will be on your way to a delicious apple pie.

Let’s talk about apple variety for a minute. I use a variety of apples whenever I make an apple pie. People usually say to only use tart apples, but I prefer the complexity of different flavors. I always use a mix of gala, pink ladies, granny smith and whatever is on sale. As long as it isn’t a mushy apple.

What do you need for this delicious vegan apple pie?

• 6-7 apples
• white and brown sugar
• cinnamon
• vegan butter
• white flour
• baking powder
• vinegar
• vegan milk

How do you make it?

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and grease a pie pan, set aside.

You’re going to start with your apples. If you don’t have a peeler and corer than core them, take the skin off and then slice them as thin as you can. Place them in a bowl. Take a small bowl and combine the 1 TB white sugar, 1 TB brown sugar, and 1 TB cinnamon, mix until combined. Add that mixture to the apples and gently stir until all combined and set aside.

Now we will start on the crust. Take your stand mixer and place all the crust ingredients. You want your vegan butter to be a little bit melted. Stir all of these together until combined.

Now take half of the dough and press it into the pie dish, on the bottom and sides. Now pour the apples on top of the crust and spread evenly. Take the remaining pie crust and crumble it over the apples. You will likely have a few apples poking through and that’s okay you just want it mostly covered.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes. Start checking the pie for doneness at the 40-minute mark. Take a fork or toothpick to check and see if the apples are soft, if not continue baking.

Let this cool for a couple of hours, when ready to serve you can reheat it slightly for a warm piece of apple pie and vegan ice cream.
