Ingredients:
| For the Crust | For the Filling |
|---|---|
| 2/3 cup shortening | 4 – 5 apples |
| 2 cups all-purpose flour | 3 tablespoons sugar |
| 2 teaspoons salt | 1/2 cup flour |
| 1 cup water | 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice |
| 4 packets Sweet ‘n Low | 1/2 teaspoon salt |
| 1 tablespoon vegan margarine |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crust:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and shortening until the mixture resembles small peas.
- Sprinkle in water, starting with 5 teaspoons, then gradually adding more until the dough is moistened and comes together.
- Form the dough into a ball and divide it in half.
- On a lightly floured surface, shape each half into a flattened round.
- Roll out each round to about 2 inches larger than the size of an upside-down pie plate.
- Fold each round into quarters and gently place it into the pie tin, then unfold.
- For a two-crust pie, trim the overhanging edge to about 1/2 inch from the rim.
-
-
Prepare the Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a separate bowl, mix together the Sweet ‘n Low, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Stir in the sliced apples until they are evenly coated.
- Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared pie plate.
- Dot the top of the filling with vegan margarine or your choice of vegan butter.
-
Assemble the Pie:
- Cover the filled pie with the second rolled-out crust.
- You can create a lattice crust if you’re feeling adventurous!
- Seal the edges by pressing them together with a fork, and create decorative edges.
- To prevent burning, cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil strips, about 2-3 inches wide.
-
Bake the Pie:
- Place the pie in the preheated oven.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
- Remove the foil from the edges for the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the crust to brown.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or whipped coconut cream.
- Enjoy this Vegan/Sweet ‘n Low Apple Pie with friends and family, savoring each sweet and tangy bite!
Recipe Notes:
- Using Sweet ‘n Low in this recipe helps control the juiciness of the filling compared to traditional sugar.
- For a juicier pie, consider using 6 cups of sliced apples.
- Each slice of this delicious pie is approximately 74 points if you follow an 8-serving suggestion.
- If you’re watching your points, you can skip the crust and enjoy the filling on its own.
Now you’re ready to create a delightful Vegan/Sweet ‘n Low Apple Pie and Crust that’s perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a cozy night in or a special gathering with loved ones. Enjoy every flavorful bite! 🥧✨
