Pie crust: My homemade recipe is pretty fool-proof but store-bought works just as well.A pinch of ground nutmeg and ginger would also be delish here, as would a splash of vanilla extract.

Cinnamon: A good dose of cinnamon for extra warm flavor.

I recommend a blend of crisp apples that will hold their shape, nothing mealy like Red Delicious.

Apples: The best part! I used mostly Honeycrisp and a few Granny Smith apples for a good balance of sweet and tart.

If you use super sweet apples, your pie will be more sweet, and vice versa. Brown sugar is a good substitute for coconut sugar.

Sugar: I like using organic cane sugar in the apple mixture and caramely coconut sugar in the crumble topping, but you can really use whatever granulated sweetener you please.

You can also use unsalted butter if you're not vegan.

Coconut oil: I love the buttery flavor and versatility of coconut oil, plus it's a win for my dairy-free friends! Unrefined coconut oil has a distinct coconut flavor and refined does not, so I recommend refined here.

I would guess that a 1:1 gluten free baking flour would also work but I have not tested it. You can totally use all purpose here, or a mix of both. Whole wheat pastry flour: I love this flour because it's 100% whole grain but softer and less 'wheaty' than whole wheat flour.If you have tons of apples to use and want to do closer to 3 pounds or 9-10 cups, you can make it fit! It may need longer to cook and the pie will be more domed, but that's not a problem in my book. You could get away with not peeling the apples if you don't mind the chewy texture or simply if you want this to come together more quickly, but I do recommend peeling for the most appealing (pun intended) texture. In my dreams I own this fancy apple peeler and corer machine. Just be sure to thinly and evenly slice them. Gala, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady.they will all work. Using a mix is key so you get that variety of flavors and the balance of sweet and tart. I made this pie with mostly Honeycrisp and a few Granny Smith apples. Have you gone apple picking yet?! You must. And when the warm, gooey apples make contact with the chilly vanilla bean ice 's a pie symphony, I tell you! Which apples are best? It's buttery and cinnamony and delightfully sweet. I just die for the crumb topping on this pie. If that's not your jam, you have a plethora of store-bought crusts to choose from! It's also super easy to make! Don't be intimidated by the pie 's just mixing together four ingredients and smooshing it into a pie plate. Success!Īpple pie is his favorite dessert, but even I, a loyal chocoholic, must admit that this recipe is NEXT. Jeff let out perhaps the loudest, most extended 'mmmm' I've ever heard within one second of this crumbly apple dream pie hitting his face. Are you a pie person? Because I think it's impossible to not love this pie. I mean I think this is the most delish thing I've ever made. The most delicious Apple Crumb Pie that happens to be vegan! Everyone will rave about this crave-worthy pie.
