Equipment
- 3 Large Bowls
- 1 Pie pan
- oven mitts
- cooling rack
- Plastic Wrap
- Whisk
- Knife
- Food Processor
- Pot
- Stirring Spoon
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups of flour
- 2/3 cups of warm water
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 2 red gala apples Please keep in mind that you can use any apples for this recipe of apple pie without eggs however, the apples should be sweet and juicy. If you choose a dry apple, this can cause your apple pie to also feel and taste dry. Try a granny smith or pink lady apple if you don't like red gala apples.
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 1 tsp of nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp of salt
Instructions
- The first thing you will need to do is prepare the ingredients. This means getting them prepped for making the pie crust as well as the filling.
- Step 2 can be tricky. You will need to make the pie crust from the dry ingredients listed above. Set aside a small portion of cinnamon and sugar to make the apple pie filling. Once you mix the dry ingredients well, it is time to add the oil slowly. Massage the oil into the dry ingredients to create a smooth dough that is easy to bend and roll.
- During this step, it is also best to place the dough in the refrigerator. The refrigerator keeps the dough protected, while also encouraging stronger flavors. Right before using the dough in your recipe of apple pie without eggs, you should cut the dough into slices using a pizza cutter or butter knife.
- On the stovetop, preheat a small pan with sugar and cinnamon. You will need to peel the apples and cut them into wedges. If you want the apples to be smaller, then dice them! This changes the texture of your eggless apple pie, but also makes it easier to eat and less messy. Stir in the pot until the apples are tender, perfect for a filling.
- Once the filling and the dough are complete, you can put it all together! Start by assembling the dough into the pan. During this process, don't forget to preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the bottom of the pie pan is covered in dough, add the filling.
- In the fourth step, you can get creative while placing the dough on top! Some people add the strips and create designs like stars, cross patterns, and quilts!
- In the last and final step, you only need to bake the eggless apple pie for 10-20 minutes or until the crust is golden. Cool the pie, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- When making a delicious and warmly baked apple pie, it is best to have a few tricks up your sleeve! Although I now have years of experience baking pies, I used to struggle before because of how difficult it was making the dough and laying out the ingredients properly.
- When making this recipe of Apple pie without eggs, I recommend starting with the sweet apple glaze. While you cook and simmer the apple slices, you can set up the dough and cut it into the right shapes and sizes. Make the dough a minimum of 1-2 days before you bake your eggless apple pie!
- If you make your apple pie dough before, this gives the dough time to settle and become firm in the refrigerator, making it easier to work with. Dough that is still warm can tear and break apart because it has not bonded closely.
