Step 1

Seive or mix all the dry ingredients together - whole wheat flour, all purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and with your finger tips combine the oil in the flour evenly to get a breadcrumb consistency. This step should be done properly and this results in giving a flaky texture to the crust. The whole mixture should look like breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add water in parts binding the whole mixture together. Don't knead. Gather everything and form a dough.

Step 4

Peel, core and slice the apples.

Step 5

Mix the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, demerara sugar and whole wheat flour into the apples.

Step 6

Preheat your oven at 180 degrees celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Grease your pie pan with olive oil.

Step 8

Divide the dough into two or four equal parts depending on the size of your pie pans.

Step 9

Take one portion of the dough on a dusted work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into an even layer that is about ¼ inch thick.

Step 10

Place one of the rolled pie crust gently on the greased pan and press it towards the bottom and the sides.

Step 11

Arrange the apple filling evenly on the bottom pie crust.

Step 12

Top the apple slices with a few drops of olive oil or dots of vegan butter.

Step 13

Cover the pan with another rolled pie crust and fold the edges of the top crust over and under the bottom edges. Flute the edges.

Step 14

Cut through the top pie crust with a fork or knife from top so as to allow steam to pass while baking.

Step 15

You can also cut strips from the rolled dough and create a lattice pie crust as shown in the video below.

Step 16

Brush with soy milk or any nut milk and sprinkle raw sugar and ground cinnamon from the top.

Step 17

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for 50 to 60 minutes or until the crust has become golden and crisp.

Step 18

Serve the apple pie warm or when at room temperature.

Step 19

You can refrigerate or freeze the pies. Wrap the apple pies when they completely cool down in a cling film or store them in an air tight container and refrigerate or freeze.
