Pie is cool. It’s really easy to make pies vegan. Apple pie is really yummy. It’s definitely a comfort food from my childhood. What’s more American than having apple pie?
Even before I was a vegan, I always made an oil crust. I use this crust for both quiches and pies. For pies I add a couple of tablespoons of sugar to sweeten it up. It’s a very dependable crust that comes out good every time.

If you like you can add 1/4 c. raisins to the apple mixture. Before you add them, steep them in hot water and they’ll blow up a bit.

This apple pie was simply amazing. So totally yummy!!!!
I’m so glad you liked it. I know someone else who made it and they got their husband to cut the apples for them. That saved her a lot of time. At least it did for her – not so much for her husband 😉
