Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Pie

A classic apple pie made gluten-free but just as delicious as the traditional version! Featuring a flaky, sweet crust filled with tender cinnamon-spiced apples and topped with a beautiful lattice or decorative top crust. This pie proves that gluten-free baking can be just as impressive and delicious as conventional baking.
If your gluten-free dough becomes too soft while working with it, pop it back in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up.Choose a mix of apple varieties for the best flavor - some tart, some sweet!Store the cooled pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.Warm individual slices slightly before serving for that fresh-baked taste.Try serving with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!

Instructions

  1. Prepare two batches of gluten-free pie dough according to your recipe, adding one package of vanilla sugar to each batch for extra sweetness.
  2. Divide the dough into two roughly equal portions - one for the bottom crust and one for the top.
  3. Wrap each portion and chill while preparing the filling.

Apple Filling Instructions

  1. Peel, core, and cut the apples into evenly-sized cubes (about 1.5cm).
  2. Place the apples in a large pan with the sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
  3. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool until just warm to the touch.

Glaze Instructions

  1. Mix maple syrup and oat milk together in a small bowl until well combined.

Assembly and Baking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Grease a 22cm pie dish with vegan butter.
  3. On a lightly floured surface (use gluten-free flour!), roll out one portion of dough into a circle about 30cm in diameter. Remember, gluten-free dough can be more delicate, so handle it gently!
  4. Carefully transfer the rolled dough to your pie dish. If it breaks, don't panic - just patch it together in the dish, it'll bake up fine!
  5. Pour in your cooled apple filling, spreading it evenly.
  6. Roll out the second portion of dough for the top. You have options here: go for a full cover with decorative holes for steam, create a lattice pattern, or get creative with cut-out shapes!
  7. If doing a full cover, don't forget to cut several steam vents in the top.
  8. Brush the top crust with your maple-milk glaze.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes. After 30 minutes, cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
  10. The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and you can see the filling bubbling through the vents.
  11. Let the pie cool completely before slicing - this helps the filling set properly.
