Homemade Vegan Apple Pie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and cinnamon on a white plate.

Vegan Apple Pie

A perfectly flaky, tender vegan apple pie made with a coconut-oil crust, warm cinnamon-spiced apples, and a hint of apple cider vinegar for extra tenderness. Completely plant-based, traditional in flavor, and loved by vegans and non-vegans alike.
