Apple Pie vegan
It has a crispy, savory, melt-in-your-mouth dough crust, filled with fresh, soft-cooked apple pieces, naturally sweet, and seasoned with the distinctive aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg. Without using animal butter, eggs, or milk, this recipe still produces the same delicious texture and taste as the original version. The apple filling blends perfectly with the lightly caramelized sugar coating, resulting in a balanced, fresh sweetness. Perfect served warm or cold as a dessert, or as a special treat for family gatherings!

👩🍳 Instructions
- 1
Make the pie crust; combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and rub it in with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add the ice water while stirring until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two portions, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Prepare the filling: mix the apple slices with the sugar, cornstarch, lime juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well until all the apples are coated with the spices. Let stand for 10 minutes to release some of the juices.

Assemble the pie: roll out one portion of the dough until thin, place it in the pie pan, smooth it out and tidy the edges. Pour the entire apple filling and juice into a baking dish. Top with a slice of vegan butter.

Cover and bake: Roll out the remaining pastry dough and cover the top with the apple filling. Crimp the edges and poke a few holes with a fork to allow steam to escape. Brush the surface with a little water and low-savory sugar if you want a shinier appearance.
