1
Preheat your oven to 400'F.
-
2
APPLE PIE SPICE: I combined 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoons allspice and 1/8 teaspoons ground cardamom.
-
3
FOR THE PIE:.
-
4
Core the apples and then using your food processor slicer blade prepare the apples.
-
5
Put in a big bowl and add the raw cane sugar, packed brown sugar, flour and apple pie spice.
-
6
Mix this up really well so all the apples are separated and covered.
-
7
Once its done set aside and make your crust.
-
8
EASY SPELT CRUST:.
-
9
3 cups flour (spelt).
-
10
1 teaspoons salt.
-
11
1/2 cup oil (light).
-
12
1/2 cup milk (non-dairy).
-
13
Put the flour and salt in your food processor.
-
14
Process to combine.
-
15
In the mean time put oil and milk in a cup and mix well.
-
16
Pour this through the feeding tube of the processor until you have a nice crumbly mixture.
-
17
Turn it out onto a work surface and form into a ball.
-
18
Divide in two and roll out.
-
19
Put the bottom crust on your pie plate.
-
20
Fill with the apple mixture.
-
21
Drizzle the margarine over the apples.
-
22
Roll out the top crust and put it on.
-
23
Flute the edges.
-
24
At this point I usually take what I have left of the crust and make some leaves or other decorations and put them on the pie as you can see in the photo.
-
25
I brush the pie with some non-vegan milk and sprinkle with the tablespoon of sugar.
-
26
Cut some steam holes in the top.
-
27
Put the pie on a cookie sheet.
-
28
The juices will run out so best to catch them.
-
29
Place in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 30 minutes.
-
30
Check the pie to see if the edges are getting too brown.
-
31
I found at this point I had to cover them with a foil protector.
-
32
At this point reduce the oven temperature to 325'F and bake for an another 40 minutes.
-
33
At this point the crust should be golden brown and the juices bubbling out of the pie.
-
34
If you want run a knife through the pie to make sure the apples are soft.
-
35
Remove when done and cool on a metal rack.
-
36
I use a dollop of soy or coconut whipped cream on top -- yummy!

Bon Appetit!
