Vegan Apple Pie

     Christmas is just a few days away and that probably means alot of baking, cooking or traveling for most of you! I love cooking and baking for the holidays and sharing what I make with my friends and family! Pies are just one of the many desserts we have around the holidays and Applie pie has to be one of my favorites!


     This Apple Pie is super easy to make, just has a few ingredients, and is really delicious! I love how the kitchen smells when this pie is in the oven!

Ingredients:

Crust

2 cups Flour ( I like to use half whole wheat and half all purpose)

1/2 cup chilled Coconut Oil

4 TBS Sugar or Maple Syrup

1 tsp Salt

1/2 cup ice cold Water ( or enough to bind the dough together )

Pie Filling

7-8 large Apples

1 cup Sugar

1/2 cup Flour

4 tbs Corn Starch

2 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Nutmeg

1 tsp Vanilla

1 tsp Salt

4 tbs Lemon Juice

1/2 cup Water or Apple Juice


     Start by washing, peeling and slicing your apples and soaking them in the lemon juice for around 30 minutes. While they are soaking, make your pie crust.

      Mix together the dry ingredients- flour, salt, and sugar. Then, add in the chilled coconut oil and use a fork or your fingers to rub it into the flour mix. Once you have crumbly mixture, start add the cold water bit by bit until you have a smooth dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.



     Okay, back to the apple pie filling! Add in the water to the apples and lemon juice. Then add in all the dry ingredients- flour, starch, spices, sugar and salt. Mix to coat and then set aside.



      Flour a surface and place half of the chilled dough on it. Roll it out big enough to fit in your pie pan with some 'extra' around the edges.


Pour in the pie mix and as much of the liquid as you can. Set aside.

     Roll out the remaining crust dough and slice it into strips. Alternate laying the strips across the pie to make a woven pattern. Or you can use cookies cutters to make fun shapes for the tops! Brush some water over the crust and spinkle on some extra sugar.

     Line a baking sheet (one with a lip around the edges) with tin foil and place the pie on the sheet. Heat the oven to 375. Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the filling has cooked through. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.


     I love to eat this pie with coconut or almond vanilla ice cream or some coconut whipped cream! Its best served warm right out of the oven, or warmed up for breakfast the next day! How ever you choose to eat this pie, I just know you are going to love it!



    You can use this pie crust for just about any pie or even homemade pop-tart crusts! I love how simple it is to make! It would also be a great idea to make several batches and freeze them for later use!


I hope you have enjoyed this recipe post and that you make this recipe and see why I love this recipe so much! Its a great dessert for the holidays or anytime of the year!

Vegan Puppy Chow

Puppy Chow or Muddy Buddies is the Perfect Holiday Treat!

     I don't know anything two things that go together as well as peanut butter and chocolate! Its a perfect blend of nuttiness, sweetness, and richness! Puppy Chow (or Muddy Buddies) pairs these two amazing ingredients together to make a delicious snack, treat or simple dessert for the holidays or anytime of the year!



     Who knew that 4 simple and easy-to-find items could come together to make such a delicious and addictive treat! I made these to take with us to our cousin's house and it was gone in a day! Thanksgiving weekend I made it for some different cousins and it was a huge hit! Needless to say, no matter where you bring it, who you serve it to, or how much you make, you probably won't have any leftover!


     This recipe is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and super easy to make! Just make sure the chocolate chips and cereal you buy is dairy/egg/gluten free if you are worried about that!

Ingredients

12 cups Chex Mix Cereal (I have used both the corn and rice and both work well)

2 cups Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips

2 cups Peanut Butter

3-4 cups Powdered Sugar


     For this recipe I used Trader Joe's Semi-Sweet chocolate chips (they are dairy-free) and I have also used a brand from Kroger's Grocery Store. Just read the labels and you should be able to find a brand that works for you! Usually semi-sweet and darker are dairy-free!

    Start by pouring your cereal into a large bowl. I was lucky enough to have a huge bowl, but if you don't, just split the cereal between as many bowls as you need!


     Next, mix together the chocolate chips and peanut butter. If you are having trouble getting the peanut butter out of the container, try warming it in the microwave for a few seconds first!


     Melt it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until it melts completely and mixes together.


     Just give me a spoon and I could eat this whole bowl! I would probably have a huge stomach ache afterwards, but oh well! You only live once, right? :)

     Pour the melted chocolate/peanut butter mix over your cereal and use a spatula for large spoon to mix it until all of the cereal is coated.


     Then, add one cup of powdered sugar at a time, stirring in between, until all the cereal is fully coated by the sugar.


     And we are done! See how easy and simple that was? No heating up the kitchen with the oven, or slaving away for hours to have a delicious treat! Just writing this post makes me want to make more!


     Store it in an air-tight container for a few days.......if it really lasts that long! I know at our house it never lasts more than 24 hours!


     I really hope you try this recipe out and see how delicious and addictive it is! I know that you and your family will love it as much as my family and I do! Its the perfect thing to make for a holiday party, potluck, or snack! Pair it with some dairy-free ice cream, hot cocoa, or coffee and you have yourself a perfect dessert!
