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!
