Indulge in the warm, comforting flavors of a timeless dessert with this Dairy-Free Classic Apple Pie Slice. Perfectly flaky coconut oil pie crust encases a juicy, cinnamon-spiced apple filling made with fresh Granny Smith apples, a hint of lemon juice, and a touch of vanilla for depth. This plant-based twist on a traditional favorite skips the butter and dairy, making it an ideal dessert option for those with dietary preferences or sensitivities. Brushed with unsweetened almond milk for a golden finish, this pie is baked to perfection with a crisp crust and bubbling apple goodness. Whether served warm with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream or enjoyed on its own, these irresistible slices are perfect for family gatherings, holiday celebrations, or simply a cozy treat.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Add the solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the chilled water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix just until the dough holds together. Avoid over-mixing.
Divide the dough into two balls and flatten them slightly into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
In another large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss to coat evenly.
Remove one dough disk from the refrigerator. Roll out on a floured surface to fit your 9-inch pie pan (about 1/8-inch thick).
Carefully place the rolled dough into the pie pan and trim any excess that hangs over the edge.
Fill the crust with the apple mixture, spreading it evenly.
Take the second dough disk and roll it out in the same fashion. Place over the apple filling.
Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust lightly with unsweetened almond milk.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from oven and let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
