Ingredients

Shortcrust:

  • 365 g of flour *
  • 3 tbsp sugar *
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 225 g vegan butter diced and chilled
  • 4 tbsp cold water

Cinnamon apple filling:

  • 1 kg of apples
  • 100 g brown sugar *
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch / corn starch (or vanilla pudding powder)
  • 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • Juice of ½ lemon

For painting:

  • some vegetable milk / cream or melted coconut oil / butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

Shortcrust:

  • Mix flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the diced vegan butter and work into the flour with your hands. Gradually add the cold water and knead only until a dough is formed. (Optionally, you can also put all the ingredients in a food processor and prepare the dough in it.)
  • Then halve the dough and form into a flat ball. Then wrap with cling film and put in the fridge for at least 1/2 hour.

Filling:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
  • Peel, core and slice the apples. Put in a large bowl and mix with the sugar, cornflour, cinnamon and lemon juice. Then set aside.
  • Roll out one half of the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Put in a greased cake tin * and gently press the dough. Pierce the soil several times with a fork and then fill with the apples.
  • Now roll out the other half of the dough, cut into strips and place on top of the filling to create a grid pattern (or optionally cover with the rolled out dough as a whole *). Then cut off the overhanging dough and press the edges slightly.
  • (Optional) From the leftover dough you can now make decorations for the cake. To make the remaining dough into a ball, roll out again and cut out the desired motifs with a cookie cutter. Then put on the cake and press something.
  • Brush the surface of the cake with some vegetable milk / cream or melted coconut oil / butter and sprinkle with a little brown sugar.
  • Bake the cake for about 50-60 minutes until golden brown. While covering only the sides or the entire surface with aluminum foil, the cake should become too dark when baking.
  • Then cool the apple pie.
  • Serve with a scoop of vegan ice cream and extra syrup if you like!
