Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Coconut oil (solid)
• 6 tablespoons Cold water
• 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or similar)
• 0.75 cups Sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Non-dairy milk (for brushing, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Raw sugar (for sprinkling, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Stir in cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and can be formed into a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disc. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. In another large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss everything together until the apples are well coated.

Step 5

Roll out one of the dough discs on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place this into a 9-inch pie plate and press it down gently. Let the edges hang over the side.

Step 6

Pour the apple mixture into the prepared crust, mounding the apples slightly in the center.

Step 7

Roll out the second dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Lay it over the apples. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2 inch overhang. Tuck the edge of the top crust under the edge of the bottom crust and press to seal. Flute or crimp the edges as desired.

Step 8

Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. If desired, brush the top of the crust with non-dairy milk and sprinkle with raw sugar.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 30 more minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
