apple pie recipe no egg

What’s more American than a homemade apple pie? This classic dessert is a staple at any gathering, from Thanksgiving to backyard barbecues. We’ve got two delicious apple pie recipes that you simply must try – one with a twist of orange zest, and another that’s suitable for vegans and those avoiding eggs.

Apple Pie Recipe with Orange Zest

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Then, add 1 cup of cold unsalted butter, cubed. Use your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until you get a sandy texture. Slowly add in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of ice-cold water and mix with a fork until the dough starts to come together. Divide the dough in half and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

While the dough is chilling, core, peel and thinly slice 6 cups of Granny Smith apples. In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and add the apple slices, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of orange zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture bubbles and the apples are coated with the glaze.

Roll one of the chilled dough portions into a 12-inch circle and transfer into a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the apple mixture. Roll out the second dough portion, cut into strips and place on top of the pie in a lattice pattern. Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes until the crust is golden.
