Antoinette's Vegan Apple Pie( Gulten-Free)



Ingredients

Crust:

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour

  • 2 Tbsp coconut flour

  • 1 tsp sea salt

  • 2 Tbsp Monk Fruit or coconut sugar

  • 2 tbsp vegan butter for dairy-free options or your option of butter( grass-fed butter)

  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water, plus more as needed

Filling:

  • 3 lbs apples crisp, (I like Granny Smith) peeled and sliced into even 1/4” slices

  • 1/4 sea salt

  • 1/4 nutmeg

  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/8 tsp ginger powder

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice to toss with sliced apples

  • 1/3 cup Monk Fruit or coconut sugar

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 tsp almond flour

  • 2 tbsp vegan butter, cold, cut into small pieces (optional)

Instructions


Prepare the Pie Crust

  1. In a large bowl or food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.

  2. Add the cubed butter, use a fork to work it into the flour with a fork until it breaks down to dime-sized pieces. You can use a food processor for less handwork.

  3. Gradually add the ice water and mix just until the dough can be pressed together. Same process if you are using a food processor.

  4. Gather the dough into a ball and split it into two equal parts.

  5. Wrap dough balls in plastic wrap and flatten them into discs, then chill in the fridge for 1 hour.

  6. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).

For the Apple Filling:

  1. Peel and remove the core from apples, then slice. ( I like thinly sliced apples).

  2. Place apples in a large bowl, toss sliced apples with sugar, lemon juice, ginger powder, vanilla extract, almond flour, melted vegan butter. Toss until the apples are well-coated. Then set aside.

Back to the Pie Crust:

  1. Get your glass pie dish ready.

  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12" circle between two sheets of parchment paper, dusting with almond flour or coconut flour if needed.

  3. Transfer one round to a greased 8-inch (20-cm) pie dish and gently press against the bottom and sides. Trim the excess dough around the edges, then prick the bottom of the pie crust all over with a fork.

  4. Pour the apples into the bottom crust and cover them with the top crust. Trim the excess dough around the edges, then crimp the top and bottom crusts together with a fork. Brush the top of the crust with the remaining tablespoon of melted vegan butter and sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of sugar and cinnamon. Cut 4 vents in the top crust.

  5. Bake for 1 hour, until crust is starting to turn golden brown.

  6. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes, then slice and serve.
