American Apple Pie
Ingredients
- 3 pounds of organic apples ( about 7 cups) such as a mix of Gala, Granny Smith, and MacIntosh
- 2 vegan pie crusts
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cold vegan butter
- 2 teaspoons non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon coarse sugar or granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425*F. Line a pie plate with one pie crust.
- Mix sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
- Peel, core, and chop apples into chunks. Place into a large bowl. Add sugar mixture and toss to coat apples.
- Spread apples into pie crust, mounding in the center.
- Grate cold butter over apples.
- Cover with 2nd crust, crimping both crusts together to seal, (or press together with a fork).
- Brush the top of the crust with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Cut about 6 one-inch slits in the top of the crust to vent steam.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350*F and bake another 25-30 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
