• 2 tablespoons organic spelt flour
• 1 tablespoon apple pie spice (see how to make it below)
• 2 tablespoons vegan margarine (vegan-melted to drizzle over the apples)

Recipe

• 1 preheat your oven to 400'f.
• 2 apple pie spice: i combined 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoons allspice and 1/8 teaspoons ground cardamom.
• 3 for the pie:.
• 4 core the apples and then using your food processor slicer blade prepare the apples.
• 5 put in a big bowl and add the raw cane sugar, packed brown sugar, flour and apple pie spice. mix this up really well so all the apples are separated and covered.
• 6 once its done set aside and make your crust.
• 7 easy spelt crust:.
• 8 3 cups flour (spelt).
• 9 1 teaspoons salt.
• 10 1/2 cup oil (light).
• 11 1/2 cup milk (non-dairy).
• 12 put the flour and salt in your food processor. process to combine.
• 13 in the mean time put oil and milk in a cup and mix well. pour this through the feeding tube of the processor until you have a nice crumbly mixture.
• 14 turn it out onto a work surface and form into a ball. divide in two and roll out.
• 15 put the bottom crust on your pie plate. fill with the apple mixture. drizzle the margarine over the apples.
• 16 roll out the top crust and put it on. flute the edges.
• 17 at this point i usually take what i have left of the crust and make some leaves or other decorations and put them on the pie as you can see in the photo. i brush the pie with some non-vegan milk and sprinkle with the tablespoon of sugar. cut some steam holes in the top.
• 18 put the pie on a cookie sheet. the juices will run out so best to catch them.
• 19 place in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 30 minutes.
• 20 check the pie to see if the edges are getting too brown. i found at this point i had to cover them with a foil protector.
• 21 at this point reduce the oven temperature to 325'f and bake for an another 40 minutes.
• 22 at this point the crust should be golden brown and the juices bubbling out of the pie. if you want run a knife through the pie to make sure the apples are soft.
• 23 remove when done and cool on a metal rack. i use a dollop of soy or coconut whipped cream on top -- yummy!
• 24 bon appetit!
