Easiest Vegan Apple Pie

Submitted by Chef Joey Z.

"I think keeping Apple Pie simple is best. This one is as easy as it gets and it always turns out delicious! I used my food processor slicing blade to cut up the apples. It made it so much faster and easier to do. As always, I used my Easy Vegan Spelt Pie Crust: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Easy-Vegan-Spelt-Pie-Crust-196863 for this recipe. It makes 2-9" pie crusts."

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 5 -8 cups apples (I used Granny Smith sliced thin)
• 1⁄2 cup dry sweetener (I used Xylitol)
• 4 tablespoons white spelt flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon (you can use more, it really adds to the flavor)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1⁄4 cup cold margarine (I used earth balance)

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425'F.
2. Peel and core your apples and slice them up. Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon and lemon juice and give it a good toss to cover the apples. Set aside.
3. Prepare your 2-9" crusts. Put the bottom one into the pie pan and fill it with the apple mixture. Dollop the cold margarine evenly on top of the apple mixture.
4. Put the top on the pie and fold the sides under and flute.
5. If you like brush the top with some soy milk and sprinkle with a little raw cane sugar.
6. Bake at 425'F for 12 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350'F and bake for another 20-40 minutes.
7. If the edges start to brown too much cover with tin foil.
8. Once done, test for doneness. Cool on a metal wrack.
9. Serve warm with a dollop of your favorite vegan topping, a slice of vegan cheddar cheese or some vegan ice cream.
10. Bon Appetit!
