Ingredients

• 350 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Cane sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 180 grams Vegan butter, chilled
• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 kilogram Apples, such as Granny Smith or Jonagold, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 100 grams Cane sugar
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 75 grams Raisins
• 3 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Apricot jam

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the chilled vegan butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture.

Step 2

Using your hands or a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the almond milk gradually, mixing with a fork until the dough just comes together. Shape into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and raisins. Set aside.

Step 6

Divide the dough into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Roll out the larger piece on a floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Carefully place the dough into the prepared springform pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.

Step 8

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the bottom crust to help absorb moisture.

Step 9

Pour the apple mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Roll out the second piece of dough and cut into strips for a lattice top, or roll it into a circle to cover the pie, cutting a few slits to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Brush the top with apricot jam for a glossy finish.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Allow to cool before removing the springform side and serving. Enjoy your Vegan Dutch Appeltaart with dairy-free whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
