![]() ![]() Tart apple slices – Tart apples are always better for baking.My favorite pie crust recipe is from Stella Parks (BraveTart) with the addition of lemon zest. Some cooks insist on adding a splash of white or apple cider vinegar as well.

I’m certain you will love it as much as we do.You’ll need a few key ingredients to make this recipe: Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncovered for another 15 minutes. Assemble the pie. Transfer the apples to the crust then sprinkle the crumb mixture over top.Add the coconut oil and pure maple syrup then pulse until a chunky dough forms. Prepare the topping.

Cook the sliced apples in butter then add maple syrup, coconut sugar, cinnamon and ginger. ![]() This will assure it is cooked through properly before the moisture of the filling is added. Parbake the crust. Buying a prepared crust means all you have to do is bake is for about 10-minutes, until light golden brown.Even though I wouldn’t recommend it, you could change them out for walnuts or almonds, if desired. Pecans- I love the flavor and texture that pecans provide in the topping.I haven’t tested it this way so it would require some experimenting to figure out exactly how much. Almond Flour- Almond flour provides moisture to the topping so it can’t be subbed out for oat flour unless you want to add more oil.Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats and oat flour, if necessary. Oat Flour- This is the base of our crumb topping and what will be used instead of a wheat flour.If you’re not into that, feel free to substitute an extra 1/2 cup oat flour instead. Rolled Oats- Incorporating rolled oats gives the topping a chewy texture, almost like a granola.Lemon Juice- A small amount of lemon juice prevents browning of the apples.I haven’t tried substitutions but arrowroot may work in its place. Cornstarch- This will help thicken the sauce that the apples are cooked in for a nice caramel-like texture.Feel free to use more or less as you see fit. Ground Cinnamon and Ginger- Both of these spices add flavor to the apples.Vanilla Extract- Always just a hint of vanilla to level things up.You could also use brown sugar in place of coconut sugar, if desired. Coconut Sugar- The granulated sugar kicks up the sweetness a few notches while also imparting caramel flavor.Pure Maple Syrup- Again, using coconut sugar and maple syrup might seem unnecessary but the syrup is adding moisture so you can’t interchange one for the other without adding liquid to the recipe.Granny Smith Apples- Even though you can use any variety of apple, I find that the tartness of granny smith apples compliments the sweetness of the pie perfectly.That said, you can use one or the either if you don’t already have or want to buy both. Vegan Butter and/or Coconut Oil- Using both butter and coconut oil may seem redundant but I personally prefer the buttery flavor for the apple filling and the richness of the oil for the crumb topping as it tends to provide more moisture and prevent burning.If you need the pie to be gluten-free, be sure to source a certified GF crust or you can try my super easy 5-Ingredient Grain-free Pie Crust.
