Vegan apple pie with almond & amaretto

THE RECIPE

Vegan apple pie with almond & amaretto

A fully plant-based double-crust pie with flaky pastry and juicy apple filling. Almond adds body, while a splash of amaretto brings out the flavour of ripe apples.

Method

1. 1
   Make the dough

   Rub the flour, vegan butter, sugar and salt together. Add enough water for the dough to come together. Chill for 30 minutes.

2. 2
   Mix the filling

   Slice the apples and toss with the sugar, starch and flavouring: 50 g ground almonds, 2 tbsp amaretto and half the flaked almonds; use almond extract for an alcohol-free version.

3. 3
   Assemble

   Line a pie dish with two-thirds of the dough, add the filling and dot with vegan butter.

4. 4
   Cover

   Make a lattice or full lid with the remaining dough. Brush with oat milk and sprinkle with sugar.

5. 5
   Bake

   Bake on a low oven rack until golden and bubbling. Rest for 40 minutes.
