5-Ingredient Apple Pie
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 store-bought pie crusts (I prefer the vegan brand Wholly Wholesome)
- Soy milk (optional, for brushing)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan.
- Whisk together sugar, flour and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Add apples and mix with a large spoon until apples are evenly coated.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 dough until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
- Carefully lift the dough and fit it into the prepared pan, letting about 1 inch hang over the sides.
- Fill the pie shell with the apple filling.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the second disc of dough until it is about 1/8 inch thick and cut out eight 1-inch strips.
- My lattice technique does not require any weaving.
- Instead, lay four strips horizontally on top of the filling, leaving about 1/2 to 3/4 inch between strips.
- You may want to use a metal spatula to transfer the dough strips from your work surface to your pie.
- Lay the remaining four strips diagonally over the first four strips, creating a diamond-like shape between strips.
- Fold the overhanging dough over the edges of the lattice top.
- Crimp the dough between your two index fingers to make a decorative border
- Brush the top and edges of the pie crust with nondairy milk and sprinkle with sugar for an extra sweet and crisp top.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until the crust is nicely browned.
