Ingredients

Vegan Crust

  • 2 ½ Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 8 Oz Vegan Butter Very Cold and cut into cubes
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons Ice Cold Water

Apple Filling

  • 2 Apples Cubed (Peeling Optional)
  • ¼ Cup Date Syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegan or Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
  • Pinch of Salt

Almond Filling

  • 1 Tube Almond Paste
  • ¼ Cup Almond Milk

Instructions

Make the Vegan Pie Crust

  • In a food processor place the flour, salt and sugar and mix for a minute to combine.  Then add in all the butter and mix until the dough starts to form pebbles.
  • Add in the water a tablespoon at a time and pulse in between each tablespoon.  Once you see the dough start sticking together and start forming a dough stop adding water and take out the dough and form it into 2 disks and wrap with plastic wrap.  Place in the fridge until you are ready to roll it out.

Make the Apple Filling

  • Place all the apple filling ingredients in a pan on medium heat and cook until the sauce starts to bubble and coat the apples.  This will take about 5 minutes.  Don't over cook the apples, they need to stay firm.  Set aside to cool.

Make the Almond Filling

  • In a stand mixer or with a hand held mixer place all the almond filling ingredients in a bowl and whip until the filling is a nice loose paste.  Add more almond milk if necessary.  Set Aside. 

Make the Pie

  • Pre-Heat Oven to 375 Degrees.  Spray a 8 inch pie tin with coconut oil and place in the freezer.
  • Use some flour to line a clean clear surface and then take out one of your pie dough disks and roll it out to about ⅛ of an inch thick.
  • Take out the pie tin from the freezer and lay out the dough in the tin pressing it lightly into the tin.  Use a sharp paring knife to trim the edges.
  • Pour in the apple filling first and then the almond filling.  Place in the freezer while you are rolling out the top crust.
  • Take out the second pie disk and roll out to ⅛ of an inch thick.  Take the filled pie tin from the freezer and use the dough to cover the pie. 
  • Here you can use your creativity and use some mini cookie cutters to cut out shapes or if your keen cut out strips of dough with a pizza slicer and artfully place around the pie in a swirl or lattice.
  • Bake the pie for 20 minutes until the crust gets nice and brown and golden.  Enjoy!
