🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp light unsalted butter, cold
  • 3 tbsp ice water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for dusting)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (for gloss)
  • 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced thin
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (for serving)
  • 2 tbsp coconut whipped cream (for serving)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Crust: Whisk flour and salt in a bowl. Cut cold butter into small cubes and add to flour. Using a fork or pastry cutter, work butter into flour until breadcrumb texture forms. Slowly add olive oil and ice water, mixing until dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling: Toss sliced apples with maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a separate bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow spices to infuse and apples to release light juices.
3. Roll and Line: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a thin 8-inch circle. Transfer to a small 6-inch pie dish or tart pan, allowing edges to overhang slightly. Prick base lightly with a fork to prevent puffing.

4. Fill the Pie: Layer apple mixture into crust, arranging slices in a slight overlap pattern. Pour any accumulated juices over top. Fold crust edges inward, creating a rustic border that partially frames the filling.
5. Brush and Bake: Brush exposed crust with maple syrup gloss. Place pie dish on a baking sheet and transfer to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven. Bake for 30–35 minutes until crust is golden-brown and apples are fork-tender.
6. Cool and Serve: Let pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Top each serving with a dollop of Greek yogurt mixed with 1 tbsp coconut whipped cream, allowing toppings to melt slightly into warm filling.
