This simple 4-ingredient apple tart is all about the apples. Naturally vegan, it is prepared with an unsweetened apple sauce and a rustic whole-wheat crust.

Ingredients

Scale

For the whole wheat pie crust:

  • 2 cups (240g) whole-wheat flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut oil, melted
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) water, lukewarm

For the filling:

  • 4 + 6 sweet apples, divided
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • Cinnamon or vanilla, to taste (optional)*

Instructions

For the whole wheat crust:

  1. Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C) and grease a 10-inch (26 cm) pie dish lightly. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the crust until they stick together and form a thick dough. Add a little bit more water or a little bit more flour as needed. Cover the bowl with a cloth and allow to cool at room temperature.

For the apple sauce:

  1. Peel, core and cut 4 apples in chunks. Place in a small saucepan together with water and lemon juice. Cook on medium heat until apples are soft and tender. Add a little bit more water during the process if needed.
  2. Transfer to a food processor and mix for about 1 minute or until a fine apple sauce. Flavor with cinnamon or vanilla if desired Set aside.

For assembling:

  1. Roll out the dough into a large disk and place into the prepared pie dish. Pre-bake the crust for about 10 minutes.
  2. When the crust is ready, spread the applesauce on top, reserving one tablespoon for later. Peel, core and slice the remaining apples and lay them out on top of the pie crust, creating a lovely pattern.
  3. Add a few tablespoons of water to the remaining apple sauce, mix well and brush over the apples. Bake for about 20-30 minutes or until apples are soft and tender.

Notes

Note: to make the tart even more rustic, add one tablespoon of almond butter to the apple sauce and mix well (I add it directly in the food processor when apples are already mixed, to make sure it spreads out evenly).
