I think Apple Pie is a great dessert to have at almost any occasion or holiday! In high school, we sold Apple Pies as a fundraiser. All of the band students and parents would get together one night and make literally hundreds of pies from scratch for all the wonderful supporters of the Chartlotte High School Band. I adapted the recipe from those pies to create a vegan one. It’s amazing served warm with a scoop of ice cream or even a slice of cheddar (although the cheese isn’t vegan)!
Ingredients:
- 1 Wholly Wholesome Pie Crust or your preferred crust!
- 1 1/2 lbs Green Apples (peeled & sliced, half of a 3 lb bag)
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Molasses
- 1/2 Tbsp Nutmeg
- dash of clove
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 Cup Cornstarch
- 1/3 Cup Sugar
Topping:
- 1 Tbsp Molasses
- 3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/3 Cup Earth Balance Buttery Spread or your preferred butter!
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl combine the sugar, molasses and cornstarch. Mix together with the apples, spices, and lemon juice. Spoon the mixture into a thawed Wholly Wholesome Pie Shell. In a separate bowl, make the topping by combining the butter, sugar, molasses, and flour. Top the pie with the mixture and bake for 40-50 minutes.
