Vegan Apple Pie (Gluten-Free)

I’ve been thinking about making a gluten-free vegan apple pie since the autumn walked in. In fact, I’ve tried a few times before but without satisfying success. It’s until December that I make this amazing Vegan Apple Pie that I want to share.

Apple pie has always been one of my favorite foods (did I say that too many times?). Before I became a vegan, I often bought American apple pie at Uptown Pastry (bakery shop in Taiwan).

But about two years ago when I entered the baking world, I gradually realized that there are usually a lot of addictives and some stuff we don’t actually hear before. And most of them are not vegan, so I want to make a Vegan Apple Pie.

This Vegan Apple Pie is not traditional American type, but rather more like a French styled one. It’s vegan, meaning no dairy, no egg, no animal product. It’s also gluten-free and white-sugar-free. FYI, it’s until recently I realized that some white sugar are not vegan because the refining process.

This Vegan Apple Pie is adapted from one of my favorite channel The Happy Pear. I adjust a little bit according to my taste and what I have at hand.

The pie crust is mainly made from ground almonds and oat flour. Instead of butter, the fat part is coconut oil and added with some applesauce. This pie crust is really amazing! I would say it wins over my heart than a regular one.

I make oat flour by grinding the rolled oats in a grinder. You can use pre-ground one for sure.

The apple filling is some apples cooked with orange juice, which gives it a natual, fruity sweet ness, adding more layers to the flavor.

The pie crust and filling are both spread with some homemade maple glaze (also in the recipe), which give thie apple pie a caramelly sweetness.

I add some walnuts, one of my favorite nuts, on top as well to make it looks pretty and more delicious. Yes, I said MORE.

Even though we don’t have many green apples in Taiwan, but we do have different types of apples from all over the world (maybe that’s an exaggeration, but we do have apples from the UK, South Africa, and Australia, etc. ) If you prefer a more tart flavor, you can use green apples. Regular apples will work just fine.

This time I use a type of apples call “Pink Lady.” It’s an Australian type. It has a crisp texture but not very hard. It’s sweet with a little tart undertone, so I think it’s a great choice for apple pie.

This apple pie does take some time and steps. But there’s a fun part: Layer up the apple slices. Here’s a tip: Layer them from outside to inside, one piece at a time.

Apple pie does not only serve as a great dessert, but also a breakfast option for me. Accompanied by a soy milk latte, this Vegan Apple Pie would make my day as simple as it is.

I like to have “hot” apple pie, so I usually make it ahead and reheat the slices in the oven before serving.

We got apples throughout the year and I love baked apples. If you under a similar situation, you can also check out my new Open-face Apple Pie that I made for Christmas, Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal, and Vegan Apple Crisp. OK, shall we?

To make the pie crust:

  • *Oat flour: I often make my own by using my grinder to ground the rolled oats. You can use store-bought ones. If you are sensitive to gluten, make sure you choose the ones marked “gluten-free”, like this gluten-free oat flour.
  • Storage: Store the leftover in an air-tight container in the fridge for 1 week or 2 weeks in the freezer.
