This Vegan Apple Pie is made with a coconut oil pie crust and is so straightforward to make! Everyone will love this old-style fall pie!

Is there anything better than a nice warm slice of apple pie this time of year? Yes, actually, a warm slice of apple pie with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Bring on the PIE!

I first posted this dish a few years ago and, like with many of my recipes lately, I decided to re-test it and give the post a little facelift. But truly, I only wanted an excuse to make apple pie. Everyone needs that excuse on a somewhat regular basis.

It’s always funny to read over my old posts and to see what was happening in my life at the time. I was only starting to make client videos 2 years ago and had NO idea that it would morph into a full blown business that I would be able to work on full time WITH a regular at dinner. I’m so ridiculously grateful for how much my life has grown over the past couple of years.

I also wrote a bit in this original recipe post about the apple trees that we had planted and how I was looking forward to eating apples from our trees in a couple of years. Well, those couple of years have arrived and I’m quite sad to report that we have NO fresh apples in our house. As it turns out, growing apples trees involves a little more than planting the small tree in the ground and only waiting for apples. <<<< life lesson sadly learned.

But whatever. There are lots of apple tree farms around us so we’ll simply use those apples to make our vegan apple pies for now.

Alright, let’s jump right on into this method, shall we?

How to Make Vegan Apple Pie

FIRST you’re going to want to hope over to THIS METHOD and make yourself a Coconut Oil Pie Crust. It’s WORTH THE POT, perfectly vegan, and a good starting point for our apple pie.

Once the crust is made, we simple mix together the filling ingredients in a big bowl and then dump them into our crust.

For the filling, we’re mixing together a bunch of peeled and sliced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, sugar, and flour.

The top crust can be as simple or as fancy as you want to make it. If you’re in a hurry or simply can’t be bothered, you can simply lay the crust over top of the pie, crimp the edges, and then cut a few slits in the top to let the pie breathe. This offers a particularly old-school apple pie look.

Alternatively, you can do a lattice or maybe try for some of those fancy apple or leaf cutouts. Have fun with it!

But also, make it quickly so that you can hurry up and eat it!:D At least, that’s my motto.

What Kind of Apple to Use for Apple Pie

Only about every single year I find myself googling this and every single year, I end up going with good ole Granny Smith apples. I’m pretty happy with that decision:)

SO yea, Granny Smith are my favorites. They are firm enough to hold up in the pie and not only get truly mushy but are also truly sweet and crispy in the pie. OMG WORTH THE POT.
