Vegan Apple Cranberry Slab Pie
Pie Crust:
-
12 Tbsp vegan margarine (very cold)
-
3 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 Tbsp sugar
-
⅓ cup vegetable shortening (very cold)
-
6 Tbsp ice water
Filling:
-
¾ cup sugar
-
2 Tbsp flour
-
3 apples (peeled, cored, and sliced ¼ inch thick)
-
2 cups raspberries
-
1 cup cranberries
-
¼ cup orange juice
-
½ tsp nutmeg
-
½ tsp cinnamon
-
Pulse the ingredients for the dough in a food processor and then place them in plastic wrap, chilling for a few hours.
-
Combine all the ingredients for the filling in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer for 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the juices are thickened.
-
Roll the dough thinner than you would for a traditional pie and line the pan, coming up on the sides for about ½ inch. Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Use cookie or pie cutters to make shapes and place them randomly over the filling.
-
Lightly brush with almond milk and generously sprinkle it with sugar.
-
Bake at 375°F for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.
-
Allow it to cool before serving.
