Let the tossed apple mixture sit for a few minutes, then drain off any liquid that collects at the bottom of the bowl before filling the crust — apples release quite a bit of juice, and pouring it all in makes for a soggier pie.
Instructions:
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss the Apples: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Fit the Bottom Crust: Fit one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Fill: Pour the apple mixture into the crust and dot with vegan butter pieces.
- Top & Seal: Top with the second crust, sealing and crimping the edges. Cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape.
- Brush: Brush the top crust with plant milk.
- Bake: Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool: Let cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Notes: Avoid overmixing the batter once wet and dry ingredients are combined, or the texture can turn dense and tough.
Tips: Test for doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center — it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Storage: Refrigerate covered for up to 4 days; let come to room temperature or gently rewarm before serving.
Swaps: Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables or pantry staples you have on hand, adjusting cook time as needed.
Every ingredient here earns its place, but a few really shape the dish. The sugar provides clean sweetness and helps balance acidity. The all-purpose flour provides structure and body to the finished dish. The ground cinnamon adds warmth and a comforting, spiced aroma. The ground nutmeg adds a warm, earthy note that deepens the spice profile.
