Easy vegan apple pie made from scratch! It requires very simple staple ingredients, and can be ready in under an hour!

The best vegan apple pie recipe

I love the apple season, for me, it means baking and cooking with lots of apples. My parents have 2 apple trees in their garden, and these trees are very generous. We end up giving away so many apples to our neighbours every year, even after making our own apple cinnamon jam!

Vegan Apple Pie

I never thought that I could bake a vegan apple pie, but in fact, it’s quite simple and you won’t notice a difference between the vegan and the non-vegan version. The apple pie is filled with a creamy custard-like apple filling, it uses semolina to create a cream-like texture.

How to Make Apple Pie Filling

Homemade apple pie filling is one of these things that I make every Autumn, and end up eating it straight from the jar with a spoon. It tastes way better than canned apple pie filling, and it’s very easy to make. Apple pie filling is great for not just pies, but also for quick Autumn side dishes, or even to use as a spread on toast (seriously, try this!).

To make the homemade apple pie filling:

Step 1. Wash, peel, and either shred or cut apples in chunks.

Step 2. Toss apples with lemon juice. (This step is optional, but prevents the apples from turning to brown)

Step 3. In a saucepan, combine sugar with cinnamon, nutmeg if using, vanilla extract and cornstarch or semolina. If you want a creamier texture, then add semolina instead of cornstarch.

Step 4. Stir the mixture to combine. Let it boil for a couple of minutes while stirring. Then add the apples, and cook for 10 more minutes while stirring.

Step 5. If making a pie, then let the mixture cool down for a few minutes before using. It will thicken as it cools down.

Step 6. It’s best to store the apple pie filling in jars if not using right away. Pour the mixture in jars and allow to cool down, then refrigerate.

Vegan Apple Pie Ingredients

Baking a vegan apple pie is much simpler than you think, it requires very simple ingredients and it’s very easy to make.

You will need:

  • Soda water (or any neutral fizzy drink)
  • Non-dairy butter
  • Granulated sugar
  • Lemon juice
  • Vanilla extract
  • All-purpose flour
  • A pinch of salt
  • Homemade apple pie filling

How to Make a Vegan Apple Pie

After you make the apple pie filling, you will start making the dough.

  1. Preheat oven to 180C, and grease a 9-inch (20cm) springform with nondairy butter.
  2. To make the dough, in a mixing bowl combine soda water with nondairy butter, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Sift the flour with baking powder, then add to the rest of the ingredients. Mix everything together until you get a well-combined dough. Cover with cling wrap and cool in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into two halves, then in a greased springform spread one half of the dough. Pierce with a fork in a few places.
  5. Pour all of the apple pie filling over the dough and spread it evenly.
  6. Spread the other half of the dough that’s left over the apple pie filling, and pierce with a fork in a few random places.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top becomes golden. To serve, let it cool down completely. Sprinkle with caster sugar, cut into slices and serve.
