classic apple pie

MY FAVORITE APPLE PIE

 

CRISCO MAKES THE BEST CRUST, LIGHT AND FLAKY.  THIS IS THE RATIO I USED.
2  3/4 CUPS ALL PURPOSE FLOUR, 1 TABLESPOON SUGAR, 1 TEASPOON SALT, 1 CUP CHILLED CRISCO, 6 - 8 TABLESPOONS ICE WATER.

PEEL AND SLICE 6 GRANNIE SMITH APPLES, MIX WITH  CINNAMON AND ALLSPICE TO TASTE,
 1/2 C SUGAR AND 1/2 C BROWN SUGAR.  DOT TOP WITH 2 T. VEGAN BUTTER.  BAKE 45 MIN @ 400, THEN 15 MIN @ 375.  LET COOL ON A RACK FOR AN HOUR OR ALL YOUR JUICES WILL RUN OUT.  THEN EAT AND BE HAPPY!

FOUND THIS RECIPE ONLINE AND VEGANIZED IT. http://southernfood.about.com/od/browniesbars/r/bl40312a.htm

I REPLACED THE EGG WITH 1 T. FLAX SEED MEAL & 3 T. WATER, USED EARTH BALANCE INSTEAD OF BUTTER, AND ALSO ADDED 1/2 t. OF VANILLA, AND LAST OF ALL, FROSTED THE CAKE WITH SOME COCONUT FROSTING I HAD INSTEAD OF CONFECTIONARY SUGAR.  IS GOOD!  MOIST, WITH APPLE IN EVERY BITE, THIS IS EASY TO THROW TOGETHER AND DISSAPEARS FAST.  WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND MAKE THIS OR SOMETHING LIKE IT WITH A WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR.
PS. I  FOUND THE BATTER TO BE A LITTLE THICK, SO I THINNED IT OUT WITH SOME ALMOND MIILK.
