Do you prefer a lattice or crumble top crust?

Best recipe ever!!
my first time in 25 years to attempt apple pie. It was GREAT! The pie was devoured by my teenage boys and my husband. Glad to see such an easy recipe  yielded so much happiness! Thank you for making me look like a pie maker!!

Surprisingly easy to make.  To avoid the mess of making dough, I used frozen pie crusts and made the lattice by cutting strips from pre-made Pillsbury pie dough.  I added nutmeg and flour to the recipe for a richer taste and a thicker pie filling.

It's my first time to make an apple pie and it turned out great! my mother really liked it and now she wants me to make one for her friends! she said it was really yummy and the sweetness is just right!

Yep. This one's a winner. I've never made a fruit-based pie from scratch before, and this turned out literally perfect. I made it on a whim with some apples that were starting to get too ripe, and enjoyed it fresh & warm from the oven with guests over. Everyone LOVED it. I sent them all this recipe. Definitely recommend serving with vanilla ice cream. :)

Made an account just so I could rate this pie. 5 stars! Best apple pie ever. I took it out 20 min early because my crust was beautiful and I like my apples we a slight crisp to them. Yummo!

It was soggy but definitely delicious 😋

Absolutely loved this pie! Family even ate it for breakfast next morning.

2nd review - after it cooled I ate it a la mode with vanilla bean ice cream and caramel sauce.  Tastes even better than it looks!

Guys, The best apple pie ever! 

It was my first time cooking a pie, and I used this recipe, and now everyone is craving it, so I am cooking it again.

Nothing beats a warm slice of Homemade Apple Pie

This Homemade Apple Pie Is The Best Of The Classics

The ultimate healthy apple pie recipe that's secretly vegan and gluten-free! Topped with a flaky crust and caramelized gooey cinnamon apples, you'll never know this apple pie filling has no sugar added!

Best Healthy Homemade Apple Pie

servings Flaky Vegan Pie Crust (Gluten Free Option)

7-9 large apples, skinned, cored, and sliced very thin

tbsp lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar

arrowroot powder

tsp vanilla extract

nutmeg

tsp ground ginger

tbsp vegan butter or coconut oil, chilled

tbsp dairy free cream (such as coconut cream

maple syrup

tbsp raw sugar

First prepare the pie crust. Double the recipe and follow the directions listed in the Flaky Vegan Pie Crust recipe card, completely step 4. The only change you&#8217;ll need to make is when making the dough into a disk, separate it into 2 disks (one for the bottom crust, one for the top). Chill the disks for 30 minutes.

Continue on to follow step 5 through 7 with only 1 disk, rolling it out to be the bottom crust. Once the crust is in the pie dish, refrigerate the pie crust again, and proceed on with making the apple pie filling. 

Apple pie filling: 

Combine the thinly sliced apples in a bowl with the lemon juice, arrowroot powder, vanilla extract, and spices until evenly coated. 

Remove the pie dish and the second disk from the fridge. Pour the apple filling into the pie dish, arranging the apples so that they&#8217;re laying flat. Add in the tbsp vegan butter/coconut oil in cubes on top of the apples. Set aside.

Make the lattice crust according to the Flaky Vegan Pie Crust steps in the Notes section (starting at Step 3)

 To make the lattice, measure 10″ in length (if using a 10″ pie dish) and 1-1.5&#8243; in width for each strip of the lattice. Measure out 8-12 strips, depending on how many you want to go across each side. Drape half of the strips in one direction over the pie. Do not seal off the lattice yet. Now begin to weave the other strips going the opposite direction, lifting up every other strip to cover the opposite strip. Repeat for any remaining dough, alternating between which strips are folded and unfolded. Cut the loose ends of the strips, and gently tuck them underneath and into the first (bottom) pie crust.

Whisk together the coconut oil and maple syrup for the vegan &#8220;egg wash&#8221; and brush the pie crust. Sprinkle with coconut or raw sugar.

Refrigerate the pie for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 375F. 

When the oven is ready, place a pie onto a baking sheet, cover the crust fully with tinfoil,  and into the oven to bake for 25 minutes.

After 25 minutes, remove the tinfoil and bake for another 25 minutes, or until the crust looks lightly golden.

When the crust is golden and the filling is soft, remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 hours to set before slicing into it.

Serve with homemade cashew milk ice cream or Paleo vegan ice cream and enjoy!

WOW that crust is a work of art! Not to mention, this really is the BEST apple pie I've ever had! :)

I feel like I can't help but comment when I see something like this. I came to snag some good looking recipes. This is the most beautiful pie I have ever seen. I second the comment above that says the crust is a work of art. I am so excited to make this!!!

Always love a healthy option. question for you: when do I utilize the melted butter in the pie filling?

thanks!

This recipe was so simple, yet everyone loved it!! The pie crust you'd never know was dairy free and the filling was so sweet! I was shocked!! Will definitely be making again!

My daughter loves having apple pies but I was always afraid of toxins and additives. Despite having poor cooking skills, I managed to make this one so well, thank you, bananadiaries!

Hey, thank you for your reply! I tried it with cornstarch and with wholewheat spelt flour and it turned out perfect! you really dont need to add sugar as its was so sweet and very delicious, everyone loved it! Thank you for the great recipe!!

I was searching for an easy, gluten free, vegan, sugar and oil free apple pie recipe and found yours (yes, I know your recipe doesn't completely fit the bill but I was able to adapt it). I used a store bought frozen gluten and dairy free pie crust which did have sugar and oil in it (next time I'll make the crust from scratch though there is always a challenge in making a crust without shortening). I followed the pie filling recipe except did not add the tablespoon of vegan butter or coconut oil and didn't have any nutmeg. Also no vegan wash. My wife wanted raisins added to the filling because I had previously used a recipe that included raisins so I added 3/4 cup of raisins after that I soaked in water for 20 minutes so they would plump up. The apple filling was delicious - the best I ever had! I'm sure your recommendation to peel and slice the apples very thin made the difference. Thank you so much for an easy to make, simple yet delicious  apple pie recipe!

This is my all time favorite healthy apple pie recipe. I've actually been making this vegan apple pie since I was 12 years old! It's a super easy no sugar added apple pie filling all baked in a flaky pie crust that's secretly vegan and gluten free (seriously, my family LOVES it!). This is truly the only apple pie recipe that you need!

FULL RECIPE: https://thebananadiaries.com/best-homemade-healthy-apple-pie/

You'll need only a few simple vegan ingredients to get started and a whole lot of apples from your apple picking trip! Top with a scoop of dairy free cashew milk ice cream or coconut milk ice cream for a classic apple pie a la mode!

Full recipe is in the blog post, listed down below! Enjoy!!

Lots of love,
Britt

BEST EVER Homemade Healthy Apple Pie | Vegan, Gluten Free, No Sugar Added Filling!

This is hands down the BEST and easiest apple pie recipe! It has a tender, flaky, homemade pie crust with apple slices drenched in sugar and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

Easy Apple Pie

(9") pie crusts

apples

brown sugar (loosely packed)

all-purpose flour

lemon

sanding sugar (optional)

Start by preparing this flaky pie crust recipe which makes 2 (9&quot;) pie crusts, one for the bottom and one for the top of the pie. Or use a store-bought pie crust and follow package directions.

Place oven rack in the center position and Preheat the oven to 400°F.

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, flour, cinnamon,  nutmeg,  and the zest and juice of one lemon; toss to coat evenly.

Remove the pie crust dough from the fridge and let rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll one disc into a 12&quot; circle that is 1/8&quot; thick. Carefully lay the crust into the bottom of a deep dish pie plate.

Spoon the apple filling over the bottom crust and discard juices at the bottom of the bowl. Roll out the second disc of pie crust until it is 1/8&quot; thick and lay it over the apple filling.

Use a sharp knife to trim the dough along the outside edge of the pie plate. Lift the edges where the two pie crust meet, gently press to seal and fold them under. Rotate the pie plate and repeat this process until edges are neatly tucked under themselves. Cut 4 slits in the top of the dough to allow steam to vent. Place the pie on a baking sheet.

Brush the surface of the pie crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Cover the edges with a pie shield or a strip of foil to keep them from over browning during the first 25 minutes.

Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes. Carefully remove the pie shield, turn the oven down to 375° and continue to bake for an additional 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the juices are bubbly. Cool at room temperature for at least 3 hours.

This is, hands down, my favorite apple pie recipe made from scratch! Juicy apple slices are coated in sugar and spices and then baked to perfection inside a tender, flaky homemade pie crust. No need to worry about mushy apples or a soggy pie crust because this apple pie is perfect every single time!

Grandma's Perfect Homemade Apple Pie

Granny Smith Apples

Sugar

tbsp Cinnamon (more if needed)

Flour

Lard

Ice Water (more or less if needed)

Add flour into a large bowl. Then add in 1 cup of lard broken up into chunks.&nbsp;Then use a fork or pastry cutter and start mixing the lard into the flour. Mix it together just long enough that it starts to incorporate and create a crumbly mixture.You don't want to overdo it and it's okay if there are still some big chunks of lard.

Start adding in ice water to your dough mixture. Start with about 1/3 of a cup and gently start mixing it into the dough.If your dough still seems dry and is not sticking together, add in a tablespoon of water more at a time until your dough comes together.During this phase keep in mind that less is better. If you over mix the dough that is what creates a tough crust.

Once your dough has come together, split the dough into two portions. One being bigger than the other.The larger portion will be for the bottom crust and the smaller portion will be for the top crust.

Roll out the bottom crust onto a floured surface. If the dough it sticky continue adding flour to the surface and on top of your dough until it no longer sticks to your rolling pin.Then use a thin spatula to lift the dough off of the surface and place it in a pie dish.

Get your top crust ready and set it aside. Roll it out just like you did for the bottom crust.

Wash, peel, and thinly slice 6-8 granny smith apples.&nbsp;I use this Johny Apple Peeler and it is amazing!&nbsp;

Add a 1/4 of flour and 1/4 of the sugar into the bottom of your crust and gently mix together.Then add in about 1/3 of your sliced apples. Sprinkle with a little bit of the remaining sugar and cinnamon.Then alternate sprinkling the remaining sugar and cinnamon while adding in the remaining apples.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Add on your top crust. Then cut off the extra crust hanging over the edge leaving about an inch.Then fold the bottom crust over the top crust and pinch together.Then to create a scalloped edge, use your thumb and index finger on the inside edge of the crust and use your index finger to press the crust in between your fingers.

Cut slits into the top of the crust and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Then turn down the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 35-45 minutes until the apples are soft.Keep an eye on the crust and if it is golden brown and the apples feel soft enough when poked with a knife then remove the pie from the oven.If the crust is golden brown and the apples are not yet soft enough, place a piece of foil over the pie and continue baking until the apples are softer.

The most important thing to know about making apple pie is that it's not hard. My grandma's pie crust might be new to you, but it doesn't have to be fiddly. Be bold! Go forth and make this apple pie recipe from scratch!&nbsp;

Divide pie crust dough in two portions, and then roll out on a liberally floured surface. Your crust should be about an inch bigger than the pie pan, all around. Fold the dough in half for easy lifting, then move into a pie pan. Poke the dough a couple of times with a fork to prevent the bottom crust from getting air bubbles. (I do this because my mom says I should, but I've not once seen a bottom crust do anything weird.)

Spoon the apple filling into the crust. The filling should be heaped three or four inches above the edge of the pie pan. The apples will cook down, so you want to be generous. If you end up with a few excess apple slices, consider them a snack. (I used to wait for this part of the pie baking process when I was a kid!)

Roll out second crust, fold in half for easy moving, and gently place it on top of the apple filling. Gather the edges of both crusts, and turn them under as you work your way around the pie, crimping the edges together.

OPTIONAL: Brush top of pie with milk (to give it a shine) and bake for five more minutes.

This Apple Pie is made with a delightfully flakey homemade pie crust and a rich apple pie filling featuring cozy flavours of brown sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and black pepper.

Best Apple Pie

cornstarch

salted butter

water

brown sugar

black pepper

baking soda

vanilla extract

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter until the butter pieces are no bigger than peas.

Add ice water, starting with 3-4 tablespoons and adding up to 6 in total or just until the dough starts to hold together when pinched. Turn onto a counter knead/press together just until the mixture forms a loose dough ball.  Divide into two portions and form each portion into a disk.  Generously flour the counter and the top of the first disk of dough and begin to roll out into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. It does not have to be a perfect circle, just the general shape!

Transfer the 12-inch round of dough to an ungreased 9-inch pie pan. Gently work out any air pockets on the bottom and sides. Leave any excess dough to hang over the edges of the pan. Coat the bottom and sides of the pie crust with a generous coat of flour (This helps prevent the crust from going soggy). Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour (or 30 minutes in the freezer if you&#39;re tight on time) before assembling with the filling and baking.  Roll out the second half of the dough into a 10-inch round and place on a flat surface (plate or cookie sheet) and refrigerate as well.

In a large bowl, fold together the cored, peeled, and sliced apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, black pepper, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract until the apples are well coated.

To Make the Filling:

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Pour the filling into the prepared and chilled pie crust, smoothing out the top as evenly as possible.  Cut the 1/4 cup of butter into tiny cubes and evenly dot the top of the pie filling with them.

Use a pastry brush to moisten the edge of the bottom crust with some water to help it stick to the top crust.  Place the top crust on top of the pie and press/pinch right at the edge of the pan to seal.  Trim off the excess crust and further pinch the two crusts together to seal before styling the edge of the pie crust as desired. (See extra notes for what to do with scraps of crust.) Slice a few steam vents in the top crust.  At this time you could also brush the pie with an egg wash if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 70-80 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.  Let cool to room temperature before serving to allow the filling to set or the pie filling will be too runny.  Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.  Enjoy!

To Assemble the Pie:

This Apple Crumb Cheesecake Pie recipe is made with a layer of cheesecake, homemade apple pie filling and an oatmeal crumb topping! It's a delicious dessert idea with a wonderful combination of flavors and textures!

7. Place the pie crust in the pie plate. Fold the edges of the crust under and mold them to your preference. Refrigerate until ready to use.

8. To make the cheesecake layer, beat the cream cheese until creamy.

15. Remove the pie plate from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Let the cheesecake pie cool for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours, until completely chilled.

16. Serve with vanilla ice cream and caramel topping, if desired.

Amaaazing recipe, only thing is I end up with a way way too much of the apple filling but nothing enough to halve the recipe so I’m still trying to troubleshoot that.

I made this pie for thanksgiving and it was a huge hit. I used a graham crack crust and doubled the cream cheese filling. Added a splash of vanilla to the filling as well. The mixture didn’t seem thick enough to hold the apple filling and I had time, so I poured the mixture over the baked crust and refrigerated it over night. Added the filling and crumb top the next morning and baked for 40 mins. It came out perfect. I served it a la mode but next time I will opt for homemade whipped cream.
