Serves: 8 pieces
Ingredients
- Prepared dairy-free pie crust
- Chopped peanuts (optional)
Filling:
- 7 apples, peeled cored and sliced
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Crumble:
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup dairy-free margarine
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Bake the pie crust as instructed by the recipe or package.
- Set your oven temperature to 350ºF.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly stir together all of the filling ingredients. Spoon the apple mixture into the baked crust.
- Using your hands, a pastry blender or fork, mix all of the crumble ingredients in a medium bowl, until pea-sized pieces form.
- Sprinkle the crumble over the apples. Don’t worry if it appears tall; the apples will cook down and the pie will be perfectly proportioned.
- Cover the pie crust edges with foil. Bake in your preheated oven for 40–50 minutes, removing the foil in the last 15 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts, if desired.
