Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 4-6 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced, and cored
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- a dash of ginger
- enough sweetener to completely coat the apples, plus a little
- 2 cup unbleached white flour
- 1/3-2/3 cup olive oil
- 6 tablespoons ice cold water
- a few dashes of salt
Directions:
This recipe was developed in our family after my husband and
I turned mostly vegan due to his health. It's based on an
old family recipe, modified.
Mix the apples with the sweetener, and put the spices on. I'm
not sure how much cinnamon or nutmeg because I just shake
those on. All I can say is I use a lot of cinnamon. Let
that sit aside while you make the crust
Put 2 C of flour into a bowl. Mix in the salt and then with
a fork, mix the oil into the flour mixture. Pastry cutters
do not work well with liquid fats. When the mixture is
pebbley put in the water 2 tablespoons at a time. Divide
the mixture and roll out between waxpaper. Fill with apples
and put the top crust on. For decoration use small cookie
cutters on the top crust.
Bake for 8-10 minutes on 350 degrees, then turn down to 250
for about an hour.
