Servings 8 slices
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Granny Smith Apples peeled, cored & cut into wedges
- 2-3 tbsp Lemon or Orange Juice
- 1/2 c Sugar
- 1/4 c All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon OR Apple Pie Spice if you have it
- 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/8 tsp Ground Allspice
- Traditional, Coarse or Raw Sugar for sprinkling (optional)
PERFECT PIE CRUST:
- 12 tbsp Vegan Margarine VERY Cold
- 3 c All-Purpose Flour plus more for dusting
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1/3 c Vegetable Shortening VERY Cold
- 6 to 8 tbsp Ice Water
Instructions
TO MAKE THE PERFECT PIE CRUST:
- Dice the VERY COLD vegan margarine place it along with the VERY COLD vegetable shortening, flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor, pulsing a few times until the vegan margarine is the size of peas.
- With the processor running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. On a floured surface, roll into a ball then flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
TO MAKE THE APPLE PIE FILLING:
- Peel, core and cut the apples into wedges. Toss with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
TO ASSEMBLE + FINISH THE PIE:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut the chilled dough in half (as this is a two crust pie). Roll each piece on a well-floured surface into a round.
- Fit one round of dough into the pie dish, fill with the apple mixture and top with the remaining round of dough. OPTIONAL: Brush with melted vegan margarine and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake until golden and bubbling, about 55-60 minutes. Allow to cool before slicing.
- Serve with vegan vanilla bean ice cream.
