Ingredients
Apple Pie Filling:
- 8 Granny Smith apples thinly sliced to ¼ inch thick
- ¼ cup of brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1 lemon juiced
- 3 tablespoons of cornstarch
- ½ cup of water divided
Crust:
- 2 homemade or store-bought rollout vegan pie crusts
- Neutral oil to coat the baking dish
Streusel Topping:
- 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup of brown sugar packed light or dark is fine!
- ¾ cup of all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoons of cinnamon
- ½ cup of vegan butter diced and chilled
Instructions
- Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, cornstarch, and ¼ cup water into a large pot with a lid. Mix without breaking the apples. Cover with the lid and cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat.
- After 5 minutes, add the remaining 1/4 cup of water. Mix well until all of the ingredients are fully incorporated. At this time the apple mixture will begin to have a creamy consistency. Cover with the lid, reduce the heat to a low, and cook for 5 minutes or until a creamy consistency is achieved. Make sure to mix from the bottom as it tends to stick and could burn.
- Remove from the heat, allow the apples to cool, and set aside.
- Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish and place one of the pie doughs in the baking dish. Cut out the excess dough and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, add the oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and vegan butter. Using your hands, mix well until the mixture comes together in clumps. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Using a spatula, place the apples in an even layer. Top with the second pie dough, cut off the excess dough, and set any extra dough aside.
- Dice the extra pie dough pieces and add them to the oat mixture. Mix well and add it in an even layer over the pie crust.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until the top is golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cool, place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight. This will help the filling set and give it a firmer slice. It can be eaten warm, but it will be creamier with runnier sauce.
- Slice into bars and serve.

Notes
- Optionally serve with vegan vanilla ice cream.
- Optionally serve with vegan vanilla ice cream.
- To avoid soggy pie dough: While I’ve never had this issue, if you prefer a crisper base, you could par-bake it for about 10 minutes before adding the filling.
- Sweeten to taste: Based on the sweetness of the apples.
- Leave it to cool: For the filling to thicken so the bars can be easily sliced.
