Equipment

  • Springform pan 8 inch/20cm.

Ingredients
  

  • 200 gr margarine
  • 180 gr coconut sugar
  • 400 gr (white) whole wheat flour (I used regular whole wheat flour, but using WWW flour will give an even better result)
  • 12 gr baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg (can be replaced by a flaxseed egg (mix 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • kg apples (tart apples like Granny Smith or Golden Rennet)(more or less 5 big apples (3lbs))
  • 50 gr coconut sugar
  • 3 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp oat flour (to sprinkle on the pie crust before adding the apples, to absorb the moisture of the apples)

Instructions
 

  • Break the egg in a bowl and stir to mix. Divide the mixture in two equal parts. Or if you opt to use a flaxseed egg here, combine flaxseed meal and water (don't divide in 2; everything is used in the dough).
  • Add flour, baking powder, 2 tsp of cinnamon and salt to a medium mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
  • Add ½ of the egg (or all flax egg), margarine, coconut sugar, vanilla extract and knead well to form a dough. Divide into 3 equal parts.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F/175C.
  • In the meantime cut apples in cubes. Mix coconut sugar and cinnamon together in a cup and add to the apples. Toss to coat.
  • Grease the springform with margarine or coconut oil. Use 1/3 of the dough to cover the bottom of the form and the other 1/3 for the side. Using your fingers, spread and press the dough down. Sprinkle the bottom with oat flour (this is to absorb the moisture from the apples).
  • Roll out the leftover ⅓ of the dough and, with a knife, cut out strips (2cm/ 3/4 inch width) for a lattice.
    Add the apple mixture to the pie crust in the springform. Now add strips of dough on top to make a lattice (see photos). Apply remaining egg mixture (egg wash) to the lattice. If you are using a flaxseed egg skip this part.
  • Bake the pie for 60 minutes until golden brown.
  • Take the pie out of the oven and let cool off a bit. Serve a warm slice with whipped (coconut) cream or a scoop of (vegan) ice cream. Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator.
