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
