How to make this Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Pie

Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.

• Place the coconut oil, coconut sugar, apples, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a pan.

• Leave to cook on a low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until soft.
• Dissolve the cornflour in a tiny splash of water in a small bowl.
• Once the apples have cooked completely, add the cornflour and water mixture and mix well.
• Once the apples have thickened (takes about 30 seconds), turn off the heat.

Tip: Leave to cool completely before transferring into the crust, otherwise the hot apple mixture will melt the crust.

• Combine all the ingredients for the pastry dough in a glass mixing bowluntil it forms a firm dough.

Tip: Add the water a few tablespoons at a time so that you don’t add too much!

• Lay out a sheet of greased baking paper on a counter and use a rolling pinto roll out the pastry dough into an oval shape as thin as you can, making sure it’s smooth at the edges.

• Pick up the baking paper and use it to transfer the sheet of pastry onto a rectangular baking tray.
• Transfer the apple mixture onto the pastry, making sure it has cooled completely, otherwise the hot apple mixture will melt the crust.
• Spread the apple mixture across the pastry, leaving a margin of about 1 inch (2cm) around the edges.

• Fold the margin of pastry crust over, by picking up the edges of the baking paper until the filling as been completely tucked into the pastry on all sides.

• Use your fingers to carefully apply coconut sugar on top of the edges of the pastry, if desired.

• Bake in oven for around 30 minutes, until the pastry crust is firm to the touch and golden brown.
