Vegan Apple Crumb Pie 

almond flour

arrowroot powder

sea salt

lemon

maple syrup

cinnamon

ginger

cardamom

nutmeg

apples*,

oats

baking powder

Prep

Preheat the oven to 350F and set a pie or tart tin aside.

Make the Pie Crust: 

prepare the flax &#8220;eggs&#8221; and let sit for at least 5 minutes; In the meantime, whisk the almond flour, arrowroot powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until well combined. Add the thickened flax to the bowl and mix with a spatula, eventually switching to your hands to form a dough &#8220;ball.&#8221; Place the dough between two large sheets of parchment paper, and use a rolling pin to create a thin circle, wide enough to cover the base and sides of your pie tin. Remove one sheet of parchment paper and &#8220;flip&#8221; the crust into your pie dish; remove the top layer of parchment paper, then press the dough along the base and up the sides of the pie dish. Use a fork to create a few venting holes on the bottom and sides of the dish; Set aside.

Apple Filling: 

Whisk the lemon juice, maple syrup, arrowroot powder, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl until evenly combined. Thinly slice your apples using either a knife or mandoline (I recommend the latter) &#8211; I did not peel my apples, but you can if you&#8217;d like. Add the apples to the bowl with the spices and toss until the apples are coated. Transfer this mixture to the pie dish, then use your hands to spread the apples out evenly and make sure they are packed tightly.

Top with Crumble

Whisk the oats, almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl, until evenly distributed. Pour in the maple syrup and nut butter, then use a spatula to mix until a slightly sticky dough ball forms. Use your hands to crumble this ball evenly over the pie, aiming for smaller pieces vs. large clumps.

Bake

Place in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, until the crumble turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm, or let cool before serving. Serve as desired; leftovers will keep at room temperature for up to 5 days.

I made this today and it is incredible!!! I had to come and comment as soon as I finished enjoying this to let everyone know just how good it is. I cant believe how wholesome this recipie is and still tastes amazing. I substituted tapioca starch for arrowroot as that's what I had. Next time I may cut the apples in half as we had a hard time cutting through the pie piece while eating it, or it may have just been that we were trying to devour it too fast.

Well done, Caitlin! I've tried many of your recipies and think they are so talented. You always deliver on super healthy, easy and delicious recipies. Thank you!

This tasted delicious! I added some brown sugar to the filling mixture for some more sweetness.

This rustic French apple tart features thinly sliced apples layered over a generous bed of apple sauce, all baked in a flaky pie crust. It&#039;s a simple and affordable Fall dessert that will surely be a hit with the entire family!

French Apple Tart

all-purpose flour

sugar

vegan butter (softened)

water

tsp vanilla extract

apples (Gala, Golden Delicious,

apple sauce

granulated sugar (for topping)

butter

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175°C).

Knead the dough. Add the flour, sugar, softened butter, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water to a stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Knead on low, using the paddle attachment for 30-50 seconds or until it forms a dough. If the dough appears too crumbly, add an extra tablespoon of water.

Flatten the dough. Shape the dough into a ball and place it on a layer of parchment paper. Top with another layer of parchment paper and flatten the dough into a 10-inch round using a pastry roller.

Press into a pie pan. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie pan with butter. Transfer the flattened dough to the pie pan and press it into it. Cut off the excess dough. Prick the bottom of the dough multiple times with a fork.

Pie crust

Prepare the apples. Peel and core the apples. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Set aside.

Spread the applesauce. Combine the applesauce with the tablespoon of sugar. Pour the sweetened applesauce into the pie crust and spread it into an even layer.

Arrange the apples. Starting from the outside, layer the apple slices in a concentric circle over the apple sauce. Try to layer them tightly, as they will shrink a bit during baking.

Top with sugar and butter. Generously sprinkle the apples with the granulated sugar. Add small butter cubes on top of the apples.

Bake. Finally, bake the apple tart for 40-45 minutes in the bottom rack of your oven.

Let it cool before enjoying it slightly warm, or chill it for a few hours in the refrigerator. This apple tart will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Filling

I can't wait to try making it. I bet it would taste divine served with a glug of maple syrup.

Apple tart is my family favorite dessert. I must try it. Thank you Thomas.
