Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Coconut oil, solid but scoopable
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 6 Large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 75 grams Raisins
• 50 grams Chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the solid coconut oil to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together when pressed. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough chills, peel, core, and slice the apples. Place them in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 6

Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and vanilla extract to the apples. Stir to combine, then fold in the raisins and chopped nuts.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the fridge. On a lightly floured surface, roll out two-thirds of the dough to fit your tart or pie pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.

Step 8

Fill the crust with the apple mixture, smoothing the top.

Step 9

Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern over the apple filling. Lay half of the strips in one direction, and then weave the other half perpendicularly to create the desired pattern.

Step 10

Trim and crimp the edges of the crust, then place the pie on a baking tray to catch any drips.

Step 11

Bake the appeltaart for 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool for at least an hour before serving to let the filling set completely.
