Apple Pie
Ingredients:
Pastry & Streusel
3/4 cup (120 g) rice flour white
1 cup (110 g) tapioca flour
3/4 cup (90 g) almond flour
2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax seeds + 5 tbsp water)
3-4 tbsp coconut sugar
6 tbsp (84 g) vegan butter
1 pinch of sea salt
Apple Filling
2 pounds apples (about 5, peeled and cored)
1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
2 tbsp tapioca flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
3/4 - 1 tbsp cinnamon
How To Make It:
First, prepare the flax eggs by combining the ground flaxseed and water and set aside for five minutes.
Then, add all the ingredients for the pastry into a food processor and blend until it starts to clump and form a dough.
Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in clingfilm and place it into the fridge. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and core the apples and chop them into slices (approximately 0.2 inches / 0.5 cm thick). Add the apples and all other "Filling Ingredients" to a large pot and stir to combine over medium heat. Let simmer for about 2 minutes and turn off the heat. Taste it. If you think it's not sweet enough, add more sugar to taste.
Preheat the oven to 360F and brush an 8-inch pie pan (or a springform) with vegan butter. Set aside.
Remove the dough from the fridge and set around 1/3 of it aside to use as the streusel topping. Roll out the remaining dough and fit the pie crust to the bottom of the pan, large enough to go about 2-inches (5 cm) up the sides of the springform.
*Instead of rolling out the dough, you can place the dough ball in the pan and spread it out with your fingers.
Add the filling and crumble the streusel on top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and let cool. Enjoy!
