Oh, the weather outside is changing and becoming more delightful! I don’t believe anything is so beautiful as autumn in SoCal. It’s a HUGE relief to know that just around the corner is that blissful time of year when you can step outside and not feel like you’re going to melt into the pavement. Plus, Fall brings with it so many more things that are so much fun!
Pumpkin.....EVERYTHING! Pumpkin-spice latte, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie, well, you get the idea.
Autumn harvest. I love the time of year when you get beautiful mountain apples and fresh cranberries. Fall wouldn't be Fall without these wonderful products.
You can get out of the house and get into Nature. Nothing is better than great lungfuls of that crisp, cool air.
APPLE PIE PUMPKIN SPICED
To give the crust and filling a touch of pumpkin flavor, I added both pumpkin butter and pumpkin pie spice.
The result was an 8-ingredient apple pie with subtle pumpkin flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness and warmth. Mmm, this one is a winner, and a lovely pie to kick off fall baking.
For the crust – which is kept vegan with vegan butter – I attempted a lattice top! It was my first time trying my hand at this method and it certainly wasn’t the most beautiful thing to look at, but at least I tried!
You could also do a traditional top crust, or even a crumble! The filling is where it’s really at anyway.
This pie is a fall dream. It’s:
Warm Sweet Perfectly spiced Loaded with apples Pumpkin-infused Perfect with coconut whip (or dairy-free ice cream) And seriously simple
If you’ve never made a pie before, this would be a great one for first timers! The apple filling is a no brainer – just peel, cut and toss with sugar + spices – and the crust is very basic.
Despite minimal effort, the result is super impressive. As in, make this pie and impress all your friends with your pie skills. Do it!
Pumpkin Pie from Scratch
there is nothing better than picking your own apples and pumpkins
