$25k Vegan Apple Pie
Report
Golden, flaky crust meets a warmly spiced apple filling in this Vegan Apple Pie. With a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, it's a plant-based take on Greg Patton’s recipe that my family has veganized for years, because the recipe he shares rules, and so does he!

Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar firmly packed
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ lbs. apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter room temperature
To bake:
- Vegan pie crust dough
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- First, prepare your oven by placing one rack at the bottom and another in the middle. Put a baking sheet on the bottom rack. Turn the oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Now, take your vegan pie crust dough. Roll one piece on a lightly floured surface into a circle that fits into a 9-inch pie dish. Don’t stretch the dough. Let any extra dough hang over the edge and place it in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork. This prevents the dough from puffing up in the oven. Chill the shaped crust in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before baking. Place a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil over the chilled crust and fill it with pie weights, dried beans, or uncooked rice to keep the crust flat during baking.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes. Then, carefully remove the weights and the parchment paper. If the pie crust edges have slid down a little, that’s ok! You will be able to hide that when you add the filling and top crust.
- For the filling, mix sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Work out any big lumps in the brown sugar with your fingers. Add sliced apples, lemon juice, and coconut cream. Mix everything until the apples are well coated. I like to squeeze the filling as I mix it by hand to crush and break up the apple slices into smaller pieces, which makes the filling more tender, and allows some of the smaller pieces to break down as the pie bakes.
- Place the pie filling into the baked pie crust, and scatter bits of the room-temperature vegan butter (or coconut oil) around the top of the filling.
- Roll another piece of dough into a larger circle on a floured surface. Then, place the second dough circle on top of the pie. Press the edges together well, trim the excess, and fold the edge under to make a nice rim. Pinch it to create a decorative edge. Alternatively, you can cut the top circle of dough into strips and weave it into a lattice top.
- If you are using the top dough as a solid layer, make 6 slits or fork pricks in the top crust to let steam escape. If you have one and want to use it, you can make a small circle cut out of the center of the dough and insert a pie bird to release steam.
- Sprinkle the top with sugar if you wish.
- Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 18-24 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fully cooked.

Notes
- 🍏 Apple Mix Mastery:
- 🍏
- Mix Granny Smith with Pink Lady, Empire, or Honeycrisp for the ideal balance of tart and sweet flavors in your pie. Steer clear of bland apples like Red Delicious and Golden Delicious; opt for firm, slightly tart apples if choosing just one variety.
- 🥧 Dough Delicacy:
- 🥧
- Handling the dough minimally is key to avoiding a tough crust. Aim for a crust that showcases flakiness by preserving bits of vegan butter, achieving a superior pie texture.
- 🔪 Slice Precision:
- 🔪
- Aim for ⅛-inch (around 3 mm.) apple slices for even cooking. This thickness ensures your filling cooks perfectly, balancing softness and vibrant flavor.
- ⅛
- ⏲️ Patience Pays Off:

- Allowing your pie to cool is crucial for texture and taste. A minimum of ten minutes is recommended, but longer cooling periods can result in a more set and flavorful filling.
