Recently, a friend of mine arrived at my front door with a huge box of freshly picked apples from his mountain home in Julian, California. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw all those apples! There must have been close to a hundred pounds of Red and Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Fuji . . . you name it.
As soon as I saw them, my mind went into overdrive thinking about what I would do with all of them. First, I shared at least half of them with friends. About a quarter of them we ate fresh or in salads. With the remaining 25 pounds, we made homemade applesauce (which was so tasty!) and the most fabulous pies created from this recipe.
How to make a vegan apple pie
A is for apples. Let’s start there.
It all begins with the apples. Select an assortment of apples to use in your pie. I like to combine sweet and tart varieties such as Granny Smith, Fuji, Honeycrisp, Rome – at least 2 or 3 different types. The tastier your apples, the better your pie.
There’s nothing quite like a homemade pie crust. If you haven’t made one before, you may be surprised just how easy it is to create your own flakey & delicious crust. This recipe for an easy vegan pie crust is my go-to for savory or sweet recipes that require a crust, including our fan favorites: Vegan Spinach Mushroom Quiche and Vegan Lemon Meringue Pie, as well as these delish comfort food recipes: Easy Homemade Vegan Pot Pie and Vegan Easy Cheesy Broccoli Pot Pie.
🥕Note: If you don’t have time to make your own crust, no worries! You can use a vegan store-bought crust or pie dough instead.
