Equipment

Ingredients

2 vegan pie crust
1 cup vegan butter
6 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup water
6 to 7 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
Vegan vanilla ice cream for serving, optional

Instructions

Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour to form a paste.
Add the sugars, cinnamon, and water. Bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes.
Place the bottom crust in the pan. Fill with apple slices, mounded slightly.
Top with half of the caramel sauce. Cover the filled pie with the top crust using whatever technique you feel comfortable with.
Gently pour the remaining caramel sauce over the crust. Top with cinnamon.
Bake the caramel apple pie for 15 minutes at 425°F.
Reduce to 350°F and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes.
Let the vegan apple pie sit for at least 4 hours. Then, serve it with vegan vanilla ice cream!

Notes

For an extra saucy vegan apple pie filling, combine the caramel sauce, apples, and spices in a bowl with 2 tablespoons each of lemon juice and arrowroot powder.
Your apple caramel pie is done once the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The apples should also feel tender, not mushy.
If the top or sides of the vegan caramel apple pie start to brown too much, cover them with foil, shiny side up. You can remove the foil in the last 5 minutes of baking time for a nice, crisp crust.
