Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Vegan Pie Crust
- 6 medium Honeycrisp apples thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 Medjool dates minced
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice (juice from 1 lemon)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 °F/218 °C and prepare your pie crust according to package instructions or recipe. Grease bottom of 9" pie pan and par-bake the bottom crust.
- Add apple slices to a large bowl, followed by spices, salt, and dates, and combine thoroughly.
- Pour lemon juice into the bowl and stir once more.
- Scoop apple pie filling into the pie pan and lay the remaining dough over the top. Trim, form edges, and cut slits in the top to vent.
- Bake for 45 minutes. (If the top crust begins to brown too much, add a pie shield or aluminum foil to the edges.) Pro tip! Place a baking sheet underneath the pie dish just in case the filling boils over.
- Serve with vegan whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Notes
Helpful Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container. This helps maintain the freshness and texture of the entire pie. You can keep it in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
- You don’t need to cook apples ahead of time when using them in a pie. (They will be baked in the pie and cook just fine that way.)
- If you feel like your filling is a little on the liquid side, you can use cornstarch or arrowroot powder to thicken it. I would start with one teaspoon.
