Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup vegan butter
• 6 tablespoons cold water
• 6 apples (medium, peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 tablespoon vegan milk (e.g., almond, soy)
• 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the crust. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of chilled, cubed vegan butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add in 6 tablespoons of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently after each addition until the dough holds together when pinched.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal parts. Flatten each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

For the filling, place 6 peeled, cored, and sliced apples in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and toss to coat.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 0.125 teaspoon of ground cloves.

Step 8

Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the apples, mixing to ensure every slice is coated.

Step 9

Roll out one dough disk on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully place the crust into the pie pan, trimming any excess dough.

Step 10

Fill with the apple mixture, mounding slightly in the center.

Step 11

Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the apples. Trim any excess, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fold the dough under and crimp edges to seal.

Step 12

Cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 13

Brush the crust with 1 tablespoon of vegan milk, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar.

Step 14

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 15

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.
