This apple pie recipe is a great option for using up apples that are softer or have dark spots. And if you don't have such apples at home and don't want to use the "good" ones you have, one piece of advice I have is to go to a grocery store and see if they have apples that look a bit less perfect at lower prices, because often this fruit ends up being thrown away, and this way there's no waste! So take your apples and come prepare this wonderful pie.
This pie is:
- Low in sugars
- Vegan
- Gluten-free
For the pie you need:
- Apples
- Plant-based drink
- Walnuts
- Oat flour
- Coconut oil
- Agave syrup
- Lemon juice
- Vanilla Yummy drops or essence
Which plant-based drink to use?
Any will work, such as oat, almond, rice and soy. Another option is milk, but it will no longer be vegan.
Can I substitute the walnuts?
You can use almond flour, pecans or even peanuts. The idea of nuts is to grind them and use them as flour, any nut will work, or even a mixture of them.
Where to buy vanilla yummy drops?
You can buy them at Prozis, I use mine a lot to sweeten recipes without having to add more sugars. And I have a discount coupon for you with offers, with the coupon ANACRISTINA you receive 10% discount on your order and still offers that you can see which ones are in effect right now on my instagram.
How can I substitute the vanilla?
It's not a mandatory ingredient, but you can use honey (no longer vegan) or another sweetener to taste, however it will add sugar and calories to the recipe. In terms of quantity, a tablespoon of honey/agave syrup will work.
Can I substitute the agave syrup?
You can use honey, but once again, it will no longer be vegan, or another syrup. If it's a granular sweetener, such as sugar, you'll probably have to add a little plant-based drink to keep the dough from getting too dry.
Can I substitute the oat flour?
Yes, any grain flour will work, such as wheat, rye or spelt.
And the coconut oil?
You can use olive oil or sunflower oil, for example, as a substitute.
Another option: PEARS
You can make this recipe with pears, which is great.
How to knead the base dough?
Place parchment paper on the counter, put the ball of dough on top and add another piece of parchment paper on top. Roll out with a rolling pin over the parchment paper, as this prevents it from sticking to the counter and the pin.
