We’ll show you how to prepare your own vegan apple pie in no time at all:

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, margarine, flour together in a bowl and mix together thoroughly to make a smooth dough.
Grease the baking tray or springform pan with a bit of margarine.
Line the pan with the dough for the bottom crust and stretch so it covers the edges of the pan evenly.
Wash and peel the apples.
Seed the apples and cut either into slices or dice. No need to throw away the apple peels – these you can reuse in a tea or as crisps once dried.
Combine the apple slices with cinnamon, vanilla sugar and homemade apple sauce.
Fill the apple mixture into the bottom of the pan and distribute evenly.
In a small bowl, combine margarine, sugar and a pinch of salt and mix together to make the crumbles.
Spread the crumbles over the top of the pie evenly.
Bake at 355°F / 180°C for around an hour.

Sustainably Sourcing your Apples

Check at your local farmers market for locally produced organic apples. There, you’ll also find the best advice on which apples are the best to use. (Photo: Utopia/Binford)

Apples are in season from August to November. Utopia recommends buying locally-sourced apples to avoid long transportation routes. Head over to your local farmers market or visit an apple orchard and pick for yourself. Who knows, maybe you even have an apple tree in your back yard to harvest for your tasty vegan apple pie. No matter where your apples come from, organic quality is key.

Although apple season comes to a close around the time Thanksgiving decorations start coming out, apples can be stored for quite a while if stored correctly. Check out our guide Storing Apples: Proper Apple Storage Techniques to learn how to keep your apples crisp and fresh for longer – even up to a couple months.
