Print Recipe

Thank you The Almond Eater for the recipe!

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour 

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 cup vegan butter (cold)

  • ¼ cup maple syrup

  • ¼ cup almond milk 

  • ½ cup ice water

Filling:

  • 5 pears (chopped)

  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil

  • ¼ cup cane sugar

  • 1 tsp cinnamon 

  • ½ tsp ground ginger

  • ¼ tsp allspice

  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves

  • ⅛ tsp cardamom

Instructions

  1. Add 1 + ½ cups of flour and ½ teaspoon of salt to a food processor. Keep the motor running and add ½ cup of butter through the top, followed by 2 tablespoons of syrup, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 4 tablespoons of ice water. Remove the dough and set it aside, then repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. 

  2. Once the dough is completely made, divide it into 2 separate balls, one slightly larger than the other, wrap them in plastic wrap, and place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 

  3. After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 400°F. 

  4. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped pears and sprinkle the sugar and spices over the top. Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until they’re soft but not too mushy. Remove the skillet from the heat. 

  5. Flour a work surface and roll the larger ball of dough out carefully and transfer it to a greased pie pan. Crimp the edges as you normally would, then pour the pear filling into the pie crust. Roll out the second ball of dough to form the top of the crust. Brush the crust with melted butter or coconut oil and sprinkle it with a little bit of cane sugar. 

  6. Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375°F and bake for 40 more minutes.
