This Vegan Apple Pie features tender, spiced apples nestled in a flaky pre-made pie crust, making it a perfect plant-based dessert for any occasion. With warming cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice, this classic pie offers comforting flavors without any animal products.

Ingredients

Fruit Filling

  • 10 cooking apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

Pie Crust

  • 2 whole pre-made pie crusts

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the pre-made pie crusts from the refrigerator and bring them to room temperature following the instructions on the packaging to ensure they are pliable and easy to work with.
  2. Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. Add the granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir thoroughly to coat all apple slices evenly with the spiced sugar mixture.
  3. Assemble Pie Base: Place one pie crust into a pie pan, pressing down gently to fit it into place. Pour the apple filling into the crust, allowing the sliced apples to mound and almost spill over for a generous filling.
  4. Seal Pie: Cover the apple filling with the second pie crust. Pinch the edges of the two crusts together to seal the pie tightly. Cut a small slit in the top crust to allow steam to escape, which is crucial for proper baking.
  5. Bake: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes. Monitor the crust color; if the top starts to darken too much before the apples are fully cooked, remove the pie from the oven, cover the top loosely with foil, and return it to the oven to finish baking without burning the crust.
  6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for at least 3 hours. This cooling period allows the filling to set and makes slicing easier. Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed.

Notes

  • Ensure the slice in the top crust is large enough to vent steam effectively.
  • Using tart cooking apples such as Granny Smith will give the best flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a crisper crust, bake the bottom crust for 10 minutes before adding filling (blind bake).
  • Allowing the pie to cool properly is essential for clean slicing and for the filling to thicken.
