Vegan Apple Pie
Description
This Vegan Apple Pie features peeled, cored, and sliced cooking apples combined with lemon juice, sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice to create a spiced fruit filling. The two assembled pie crusts encapsulate the filling, with slits cut in the top crust for proper ventilation during baking. The pie is baked at 375°C for 50 minutes, with an option to cover with foil if the crust darkens too quickly.
The spices deliver warm autumnal notes complementing the tartness of the apples, while the flour helps bind the filling slightly for a stable texture once cooled. Allowing the pie to rest for at least three hours after baking sets the filling so slices hold together well without being runny.
For a variation, notes suggest briefly cooking the apple slices low and covered before assembling the pie to soften them and release some juices, which can improve texture but should not be added to the filling to avoid excess moisture.
Ingredients
- 10 cooking apples peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 3 tablespoons flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 whole pie crust pre-made
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees C. Bring crust to room temperature (follow instructions on the box to prepare).
- In a large bowl, mix sliced apples, lemon juice, both sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Place crust in a pie pan, fill with the apple filling. The apples should almost spill out.
- Cover the pie with the other crust. Pinch the edges to seal the pie. Cut a small slit in the top of the pie (this is very important for ventilation).
- Bake for 50 minutes. If the top of the pie begins to darken too much, remove from the oven, cover with foil, and place it back in the oven.
- Allow pie to sit for at least 3 hours before serving.
Notes
- For a softer filling, briefly cook the apple slices covered over low heat before using them in the pie, but do not include the released juices in the filling.
- Allow the pie to rest at least three hours after baking to fully set the filling for cleaner slicing.
