Ingredients

  • For the crust
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup solid coconut oil
  • 5 tbsp ice water
  • For the vegan caramel sauce
  • 1 cup pitted dates soaked into water for 1 hour
  • 3/4 cup full fat coconut milk
  • Pinch sea salt
  • For the filling
  • 6 Gala apples
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar

Instructions

  • Mix the flours, sugar and salt into a medium bowl, then transfer into the food processor.
  • Gradually add the coconut oil and pulse to incorporate until the mixture looks like coarse sand.
  • Transfer back into the bowl and gradually add the water, mixing with a spatula until you obtain a ball.
  • Cover the dough into plastic foil and refrigerate for 30 mins.
  • Drain the dates and transfer them into the blender, together with the coconut milk and salt.
  • Process to obtain a smooth, creamy liquid.
  • Transfer into a bowl, cover with plastic foil and refrigerate.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface.
  • Roll it into a 12 inch circle and transfer it into a pie plate (I use a 9 inch one).
  • Preheat the oven to 175C/350F.
  • Trim and arrange the dough as you prefer, then chill for 15 mins.
  • Cut the apples into halves, remove the core and seeds, and use a very sharp knife to cut each half into thin slices, preserving the shape.
  • Spread the apple sauce into an even layer on the pie bottom and top with cinnamon.
  • Arrange the sliced apple halves on top, drizzle with lemon juice and top with coconut sugar.
  • Bake for 20 mins, then drizzle half of the caramel sauce on top of the apples and bake for 10 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
  • Save the rest of the caramel sauce for later use or drizzle more on top of each serving.
