Name: Reindeer Family Apple Pie
Ingredients: 10 green apples; 3 heaping tbsp vegan margarine; 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder; 2-3 tbsp sugar; 1 tbsp lemon juice; 3 whole clove; 3/4 tsp corn starch; 2 1/2 c cake and pastry flour; a pinch of salt; 3 tbsp sugar; 3 tbsp golden vegetable shortening plus 13 tbsp vegan butter/vegan margarine or use all vegetable shortening or all vegan butter or all vegan margarine; 6 tbsp very cold water (ice water); 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Today I am sharing a very ‘buttery’ apple pie. Since this was served for Christmas dinner, I decorated it with Rudolph wannabees 😂

Filling

10 green apples (granny smith or Washington), peel and grate roughly (don’t use the small grater, so you won’t produce apple sauce, but use a bigger grater)
3 heaping tbsp vegan margarine
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
2-3 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 whole clove
3/4 tsp corn starch

How To

Mix and cook apple, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, margaribe and clove until soften and combined, stir in corn starch.
Set aside to cool a bit.

Double Crust Dough

2 1/2 c cake and pastry flour
a pinch of salt
3 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp golden vegetable shortening plus 13 tbsp vegan butter/vegan margarine or use all vegetable shortening or all vegan butter or all vegan margarine, basically what have you 😊
6 tbsp very cold water (ice water)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

How To

Preheat oven to 400 F
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, cut in shortening and butter, add in liquid ingredients (dough would be a little wet to the touch, it’s okay)
Divide into two portions and roll flat one (between two floured parchment papers), place on greased pie plate (9 inch)
Spread filling and roll the other dough (also between two floured parchment paper) and cover filling
Seal edges, and cut some holes as vent
Brush pie with ‘egg wash’
Bake for 30 minutes, covering edges with aluminum foil, turn down heat to 350 F and bake for another 20 minutes, cool on rack

Eggwash

Mix enough aquafaba with 1 tsp sugar and a pinch or two turmeric powder
