Vegan & Gluten-Free Crust

The crust calls for an all-purpose gluten-free flour. You can use a store bought mix, or try this ratio:

10%

10%

20%

60%

White Rice Flour

Tapioca Flour

Potato Starch

Brown RIce Flour

1/4 cup

1/4 cup

1/2 cup

1 1/2 cups

Ingredients: 

2 cups gluten-free flour blend (check out our ratio above)

1/2 cup cold coconut oil

1-2 tbsps organic maple syrup

5 tbsps ice-cold water (the secret to a flaky crust)

Instructions for the crust:

1. In a bowl, mix the gluten-free flour and cold coconut oil with a fork until crumbly. 

2. Add your organic maple syrup and cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball. 

3. Wrap it up and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes (perfect time for a quick episode of your favorite show). 

*For an a extra crunchy crust, you can bake for 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) without the filling.

Ingredients:

8 medium sized organic granny smith apples

235g brown sugar

185g organic cane sugar or coconut sugar

Instructions for the filling:

1. While your crust chills, peel and slice those organic Granny Smith apples. 

2. Toss them in a bowl with coconut sugar, organic Ceylon cinnamon, organic nutmeg, 

grated ginger, gluten-free cornstarch, and lemon juice. 

Your kitchen will already smell like fall, with an extra spicy kick!

Instructions for Assembly:

1. Assemble the pie: Lay the crust in your pie dish, press firmly to allow 1/2 inch of crust evenly 

2. Add the apple-ginger filling, and top with a second rolled-out crust or a lattice design if you’re feeling fancy.

Instructions for Assembly:

3. Bake: Pop that pie in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are bubbling. If you can’t resist checking, I feel you—just don't open the oven too much!

4. Cool and enjoy: Let the pie cool for a bit (hard, I know). Slice it up and serve with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream or whipped coconut cream for that extra indulgence.

Final Thoughts:
This vegan and gluten-free apple pie, with a punch of ginger, is all about flavor, comfort, and inclusivity. Your gluten-free, vegan, and pie-loving friends will thank you! Plus, with the zing of ginger, it’s so delicious, no one will miss the butter or gluten.

So grab your fork, and dig in! You deserve a slice—or two.
