Ingredients

Apple filling

  • 6-7 apples cored, peeled, sliced.
  • 1 TB white sugar
  • 1 TB brown sugar
  • 1 TB Cinnamon

Pie Crust

  • 12 TBs 170 grams vegan butter, partially melted.
  • 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon plant milk

Instructions

  • 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. Now take a small bowl and combine the 1 TB white sugar, 1 TB brown sugar, and 1 TB cinnamon, mix until combined. Now 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 press half of the dough into the pie dish, on the bottom and sides.
  • Bake this for 8 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove.
  • Pour the prepared apple mixture 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.

Notes

Storing- I let this pie cool down completely to room temperature before covering it with plastic wrap. I always leave this in its pie plate on the counter covered it will last for up to 5 days or so. For best results, I wouldn't make this over 2 days before the event you need it for.
Freezing- Let this come to room temperature before wrapping several times with plastic wrap and placing it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. 
Gluten-Free- Use an all-purpose gluten-free flour. 
Expert Tips and Tricks-
  1. The key to a good apple pie is getting the apple slices to the correct thickness. You want them pretty thin and evenly cut so that they cook at an even rate.
  2. Make sure you leave enough dough to cover the top of the pie.
  3. If your crust is browning before your apples are done you can cover it closely with foil to prevent it from over browning.
