today we are talking how to make a vegan
apple pie
[crunching sound]
you gonna learn today
yup
you gonna learn today
why is my beard so wet
man this is sour
(music)
what's up everybody. today the question is how do
we make an amazing apple pie. first thing
are the apples. you need to use the green
ones the granny smith apples
I believe golden apples Golden Delicious
are also a good choice. these apples are
sour, they're firm, they hold up well
under the, you know, cooking so they don't
break down. they also give a great
balance to the sweetness of all the
sugars that you put in because of how
tart the apples are. so there's a really
good balance in there. second is.. second
is the filling. the right seasoning, the
right amount of apples in there, not too
much liquid. I mean an an apple pie with
like bad filling like just gross filling
is
uh
mmm
umm
guess it's in apple-pie with gross
filling. third is going to be the crust
it is imperative you make a very
textured and very flaky crust. shortening
is going to be your best friend when it
comes to making a good flaky crust so
enough talking and classroom time. let's
hop into the lab and get creating.
(music)
We're going to start out mixing up our dry
ingredients. in the flour, we're going to
add some sugar, some salt and bring that
together. then the vegan shortening get
tablespoon sized chunks and combine it
with the flour with a fork. you may want
to consider a larger bowl but it should
look crumbly.
something like this once completed. now
pour in your dairy-free milk, vanilla
extract, and stir til combined. then you
can use your hands to form a ball of
dough. here you're going to need to lay
some parchment paper down. sprinkle of
flour on top. put down your ball and add
a little more. here we're going to roll
out the dough into a circle. don't focus
so much on the thickness of the dough.
what you're going for is a dough that is
about an inch bigger than your pie pan.
I turn my pie pan upside down on top of
the dough to make sure I have about an
inch around the sides. once everything
looks good,
I get my hand's underneath the parchment
paper and flip everything back over. then
I tuck my crust and the edges into the
pan and trim off any excess. let's put
the crust aside and start prepping for
our filling
(music)
we're going to start off here by, whoa,
getting ahold of our apples. first
we're going to peel all the apples. then
we're going to core them, with a sharper
knife of course.
or you can use one of
these cool devices. then we're gonna
slice them about a quarter inch thick.
don't waste the peels as they have
multiple uses for other recipes. from
here add all the apple slices into a
large pot. now back to back ingredients
brown sugar, cane sugar, maple syrup,
nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon,
just a pinch of cardamom, lemon zest,
lemon juice. stir this all around really
good and let it cook for about fifteen
minutes,
pushing it around occasionally.
right before you finish cooking, add some
arrowroot powder and combine it well
once you're done cooking, you want to get
this all to cool down before putting it
in the pie crust.
I throw mines on a baking sheet and let
it sit till room temperature
(music)
now that
it's cool add the apples into the pie
crust layering them evenly across the
bottom. now I'm going to follow the
beginning steps to make another pie
crust. for the top I like to make a
design to make things a little more
fancy. or you can just add the whole
thing on top and cut a few slits for
ventilation. to make this even more of a
showstopper I add a little sparkling
sugar on the top before popping it in
the oven.
I love these bear claw mitts
in the oven you may need to give or take a few
minutes to get that perfect golden brown
on top of the crust. thank you so much
for tuning in. I hope you enjoye.d let's
catch up in the comments and we'll see
you next Monday.
