This recipe is one of my favourites, it's perfect for any time of year! Christmas right through to summer.
As some of you may already know, my dad bought a box of Kathy Webbers All-Star Recipe Cards from a car boot sale. We've had them for most of my child hood and it's got some of our favourite recipes in.
I am now, slowly, trying to make them all vegan. I have managed a few of them so far.
This Vegan Apple & Cinnamon Pie is no exception, it tastes amazing and was so easy to make vegan! I can't recommend trying this recipe enough!
When I first started dating my husband, I used to make him this recipe at least once a week. He loved it. He'd eat the whole pie by himself, except the 1 small slice I had.
Now it is a Christmas tradition and I make this pie 3 times at Christmas, as you can tell it is a family favourite too.
I hope you enjoy this as much as we all do!

Ingredients
225g Plain Flour
50g Butter - I use Pure but any plantbased butter will work
50g Trex - This is vegetable shortening. I buy Trex for less than £1 in Morrisons
450g Apples - Any apples work in this. I've used brambley and granny smiths. It depends on your tastes.
25g Demerara Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
1-2 tsp + 2 tbsp Water
Milk for brushing - I use Oat milk but any plant based milk will work.
Method
* Preheat the oven 200C
* Prepare a large pie tin, grease the tin and place baking parchment on the bottom.
* Place the butter and trex in a bowl.
* Sift the flour in.
* Using your fingertips, create a breadcrumb like mix
* Put a little water at a time into the mix. Mix together to create your dough.
* Roll ⅔ rd of the dough out to fit the base of your tin.
* Peel and Core your apples.
* Cut into thin slices. Not too thin. The size is really up to you, my husband like thicked slices, but I like thinner slices. Go with whatever you think is will be perfect for you.
* Cover the apple with the sugar and cinnamon. Make sure all the apples are covered, it makes the flavour even better.
* Place the apples in the pie tin, on the dough.
* Pour 2 tbsp water over the apples.
* Roll the last 3rd of the dough out, to fit the top of the pie.
* Moisten, with some water, the edge of the pastry
* Place the lid on top, use your finger or a fork to press the edges together. I like to use a fork to give it a little extra decoration on the edges.
* Cut the excess dough from around the side of the tin. Use a sharp knife, you don't want it to cut jagged or ruin the dough.
* Make shapes on the top of the pie, with leftover dough, if you would like.
* Brush the top of the pie with milk.
* Bake for 30 minutes. Or until the pie crust is brown and flaky.
Serve
Enjoy!
