Filling:

6-8 medium sized apples

*1/3 cup honey

*2 tsp cinnamon

dash nutmeg

*1/8 tsp salt

*1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour 

*ingredient can be found at Apple Wellness

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350˚. Core and slice the apples. 

Mix together with the honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and flour.

Pastry Crust:

*2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

*2/3 plus 2 TB non-dairy butter

*1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup cold water

*ingredient can be found at Apple Wellness 

Mix the flour and salt and cut in the butter using a pastry blender until finely blended. Slowly add the cold water until flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans the side of the bowl. Gather the pastry into a ball and divide in half.  With a floured rolling pin, roll the pastry into two rounds approximately 2 inches larger than the pie plate. Place one round in the bottom of the pie plate. Pour apple mixture on top, and cover with the second pastry round. Cut slits so that steam can escape. Trim the overhanging pastry edges, fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal. 

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice begins to bubble through the slits in the crust. Serve warm.
