Ingredients:
- 6 apples

- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot
- 1-2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples to your desired thickness.
-
Cook Apples: In a large pot, bring water to a boil, then add the sliced apples and raisins. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the apples are soft.
-
Save Apple Water: Before draining the apples, save 1/4 cup of the water used for cooking for later use.
-
Drain and Mix: Drain the cooked apples and transfer them to a large bowl. Mix in the maple syrup, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside.
-
Prepare Thickening Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the saved “apple water” with cornstarch and arrowroot. Stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture thickens.
-
Combine Mixtures: Once thickened, add the cornstarch mixture to the bowl of apples. Stir gently to combine.
-
Add Whole Wheat Flour: Gradually add the whole wheat flour to the apple mixture, stirring well to ensure it’s evenly incorporated.
-
Assemble Pie: Pour the apple filling into your prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
-
Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
-
Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy a slice of this delectable Vegan Apple Pie on its own or with a dollop of dairy-free ice cream or whipped topping.
-
Store: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to several days.
