This was my first attempt at creating the quintessential American apple pie and WOW did I succeed! I have to admit I already had the crust down: I used my vegan sweet galette dough which is so “buttery” delicious and just perfect for this pie! It’s easy and quick to make and I just simply doubled it. The rest was…a piece of cake!! Take a look at the picture, it’s as beautiful as it is yummy! Just in time for apple picking season this Fall!

Author Catherine Katz

Ingredients

  • Filling:
  • 9-10 golden apples peeled and sliced thin
  • 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp whole wheat pastry flour*
  • 2 Tbsp cane sugar
  • 1 Tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 Tbsp vegan margarine
  • Double dough bottom and top:
  • 2 1/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup organic confectioner sugar
  • Egg wash optional:
  • 1 egg white slightly beaten
  • 1 tsp sugar + 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon mixed together

Instructions

  • Preheat oven 425F
  • Place the apple slices in a large bowl and add the vanilla and cider vinegar.
  • Mix the sugar, flour and cinnamon together, and add to the bowl with the apple slices.
  • Gently stir with your hands (or a spoon!) to coat well, and set aside.
  • Place all the dough ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until a soft ball forms (30 seconds). The dough will be sticky, that's OK--sprinkle it with a little flour, enough to gather it in your hands and make it into a ball.
  • Divide the dough into 2 balls and place each on 2 pieces of parchment paper, sprinkled with flour.
  • Using a rolling pin, gently roll each ball into a circle about 9 inches in diameter--it"s OK to sprinkle the dough with a little more flour so that it doesn't stick to the rolling pin.
  • Peel off one dough circle right into a 9" pie dish and fill it with all the apples. It will be a big mound, that's what you want!
  • Top the apples with the vegan margarine in little dabs all over.
  • Peel off the second dough circle over the apples and gently press the sides all around with your fingers so that both doughs are together.
  • Go around with a fork to make sure there is a tight fit between the bottom and top dough.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut an X in the middle of the pie and 2 or 3 more all around the top to create little vents.
  • Brush the egg white wash on top of the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  • Cover loosely with a heavy duty aluminum foil tent and place in 425 F oven for 15 minutes,
  • Then, lower the heat to 375 F and continue to bake for another 20-25 minutes.
