Vegan apple pie with pear & nutmeg

THE RECIPE

Vegan apple pie with pear & nutmeg

A fully plant-based double-crust pie with flaky pastry and juicy apple filling. Pear softens the apple’s tartness while nutmeg adds a subtle, warm spice.

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: 250 g diced firm pear in place of the same amount of apple, ¼ tsp nutmeg and 1 tsp lemon juice.

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.
