Ingredients
  

For the Pie Crust

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 ½ cups cold vegan butter
  • ¾ cup ice water

For the Apple Pie

  • 5 pounds Honeycrisp Apple
  • 1 cup sugar free Apple Cider
  • 1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground Ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Salted Caramel

  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup brown coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt.

Instructions
 

Pie Dough

  • To make the pie dough, add the flour, coconut sugar, and salt to a large bowl and mix until combined. Dice the cold butter into cubes and either using a food processor or clean hands, cut the butter into the dough. You want the mixture to have a coarse texture similar to breadcrumbs.
  • Once the butter is incorporated, drizzle the ice-cold water over the flour and butter mixture. Mix until combined and fully incorporated. Be careful not to over mix. You will know that the dough is ready when you pinch it and it holds together. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough in half and form two discs. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to an hour.

Salted Caramel

  • Place the coconut milk, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract in a pan and bring to a light boil, and stir frequently for 20-25 minutes.
  • The sauce will become thick and turn a dark brown caramel color Add between 1-2 teaspoon sea salt, taste, and add accordingly.
  • The sauce will thicken to the desired consistency as it cools. 

Filling

  • While the dough is resting, make the filling. Dice the apples and in a Dutch Oven, add the apples, sugar-free cider, and spices. Cook for about 5-7 minutes over medium heat until the apples are slightly tender.

Assembly

  • Using a floured surface, roll out the first pie dough and add it to an 8-inch pan. Using a spoon, scoop the filling into the crust. Top with the ¼ cup of salted caramel and then the remaining pie crust. You can either do a full crust or a lattice top.
  • To lattice a pie, first cut dough into strips. Lay 6 strips vertically and evenly spaced on top of the filled pie. Fold every other strip back so they’re almost falling off of the pie. Lay one of the 6 unused strips perpendicular on top. Unfold the 3 vertical strips back so they lay over the perpendicular strip. Complete until you have done all of the strips. Drizzle with additional salted caramel.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
