The Pie Hole

davegan:

After this evening’s news about Steve Jobs, I thought I’d post my favorite apple pie recipe as an homage to the late visionary. 

Ingredients

• 6 large apples (Granny Smith are great), cored and sliced
• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 -2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 pie crust (to save time, there are some vegan store-bought ones if you look)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Core and cut apples into chunks.
• Boil water in a large pot and add apples
• Turn down heat to medium and simmer apples for 8-10 minutes or until soft.
• Save 1/4 cup of water used for cooking apples for later use.
• Drain apples and place in large bowl.
• Mix apples with maple syrup, cinnamon, and lemon juice and set aside.
• In a saucepan, add “applewater” and corn starch.
• Stir continuously until mixture is very thick, then add cornstarch mixture to the rest of the ingredients.
• Mix well and pour into the pie crust and bake for 30-40 minutes.

Adapted from: How it All Vegan - I really recommend this book because the recipes are great and there are a lot of basic, staple recipes in it that I come back to time and time again!
