How to Make an Easy Vegan Apple Pie

Place the ingredients for the pastry into a food processor and blend until a dough begins to form.

Place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling wrap, and refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes.

Cut apples into cubes.

Heat apples, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Preheat the oven to 360°F. Grease a springform pan with coconut oil. Take the dough out of the oven. Reserve 1/3 of the dough and set to the side. Roll out the dough, then press it into the springform pan to form a crust. Be sure to form the crust up the sides of the pan.

Pour in the filling.

Crumble the reserved 1/3 dough over the top of the pie.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
