VEGAN APPLE PIE WITH STREUSEL | GLUTEN-FREE RECIPE

Fall is on the doorstep and what could be better than enjoying a delicious vegan apple pie? The buttery streusel (crumble) on top makes this fall dessert really special and tasty.

This apple streusel pie is vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free can be made nut-free, and even grain-free. It’s incredibly delicious and will make your kitchen smell like heaven on earth. I am not kidding! I wish my kitchen could have this apple cinnamon scent all day, every day, haha. So maybe I should bake this vegan apple pie every single day.

For the pastry, I used a gluten-free flour mixture, margarine, flax egg, and coconut sugar. I actually “mixed” the dough with my hands because I was too lazy to use the food processor and clean it afterward (story of the day lol). But you can, of course, use a food processor, I am sure it works equally fine.

Ingredients

• Pastry + Streusel:
• 3/4 cup white rice flour (120 g) (*see recipe notes)
• 1 cup tapioca flour (110 g) (*see recipe notes)
• 3/4 cup almond flour (90 g) (*see recipe notes)
• 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax seeds + 5 tbsp water) (*see recipe notes)
• 4 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
• 6 tbsp margarine or vegan butter (84 g)
• pinch of sea salt
• Apple Filling:
• 2 pounds of apples (about 5, peeled and cored)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar (100 g)
• 2 tbsp tapioca flour or arrowroot flour or cornstarch
• 1 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice
• 3/4 - 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup of raisins (optional)
• few drops of rum extract (optional)

Instructions

1. To make the flax eggs, put 2 tbsp ground flax seeds to a bowl, add 5 tbsp water and mix with a whisk. Set aside for 5 minutes.
2. Now put all ingredients for the Pastry & Streusel to a food processor and blend until the dough clumps together. If you don't have a food processor, simply add all ingredients for the pastry to a bowl and use your hands to knead the dough until it clumps together. If the dough appears too dry add a tiny bit of cold water.
