Ingredients
Crust Ingredients
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 120 ml Non-dairy butter plus extra for greasing
- 250 ml Soda water
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Baking powder
Filling Ingredients
- 4-6 medium Apples peeled and sliced
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
- Step 2: Add the non-dairy butter to the dry ingredients, mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 3: Slowly pour in the soda water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently mix until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half, shape into balls, flatten into disks, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 4: Peel and core the apples, slice thinly, and toss with sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir in lemon juice.
- Step 5: Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface, transfer to a greased pie dish, and trim excess dough. Repeat with the second disk for the top crust.
- Step 6: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Fill the bottom crust with apple filling, cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut slits for steam to escape.
- Step 7: Bake for 45-50 minutes until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Let cool for at least an hour before slicing.
Notes
For best flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples. Let the dough rest for a flaky texture and chill before rolling out.
