Ingredients

Equipment

• 9-inch pie dish
• Mixing bowls (at least 2)
• Pastry cutter or fork (for blending crust)
• Rolling pin
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Sharp knife and cutting board
• Baking sheet (optional, to catch drips)
• Oven

Instructions

1. Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add ice water: Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently after each addition until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.
3. Chill the dough: Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
5. Roll out the crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to the pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.
6. Add the filling: Pour the prepared apple mixture evenly into the crust-lined pie dish.
7. Top crust: Roll out the second disk of dough into a 12-inch circle and place it over the filling. Trim excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
8. Vent the pie: Use a sharp knife to cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
9. Bake: Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
10. Cool: Let the pie cool for at least an hour before slicing to allow the filling to set properly.

Tips & Variations

Pro tip: To keep your crust extra flaky, make sure your coconut oil and water are very cold before mixing. Warm ingredients will make the dough tougher.

You can easily swap the filling fruits or vegetables depending on the season or your preference. Try berries and peaches in summer or pumpkin and pecan for a festive fall pie.

For a savory version, consider a filling of sautéed mushrooms, onions, garlic, and spinach with vegan cheese.

For added sweetness without refined sugar, substitute brown sugar with maple syrup or coconut sugar in the filling. If you want a gluten-free crust option, experiment with gluten-free flour blends, though texture may vary.
