Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup vegan butter
• 0.5 cup ice cold water
• 6 cups assorted fresh fruits (e.g., apples, berries, peaches)
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons plant-based milk (for glazing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the vegan butter into the dry mixture by cutting it in with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add ice cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 4

Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

In a separate bowl, mix together the fresh fruits, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to fit the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan.

Step 8

Gently place the rolled-out dough into the pie pan, trimming any excess from the edges.

Step 9

Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the fruit filling. Use a knife to cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Seal the edges by crimping them together, and brush the top with plant-based milk for a golden finish.

Step 12

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 13

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving to ensure the filling sets properly.
