The Recipe Card: Apple Cream Pie with Streusel Topping

This tasty apple pie combines all the cozy, nostalgic holiday flavors we love with our unsweetened vegan coconut yogurt. Here’s what you’ll need and how to make it happen:

What You’ll Need

For the Pie:

1 cup Harmless Harvest Unsweetened Plain Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative
3/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups apples, peeled & sliced 1/4” thick (about 4-5 large apples; used a mix of Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, & Envy)
1 pie crust, unbaked

For the Streusel Topping:

1 cup flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 heaping tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)

How to Make It

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Whisk the non-dairy coconut yogurt, white sugar, egg, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla together.
3. Add in the cut apples and mix until evenly coated. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
4. To make the streusel, combine the ingredients listed with a fork to form a crumble.
5. On a greased pie plate, lay out the unbaked pie crust (you should do this step when the dough is at room temperature).
6. Pour in the apples and all the juices into the pie plate.
7. Top with the streusel and spread evenly.
8. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the top is golden.
9. Let the pie sit for at least 30 minutes to get the inside to set before serving. Enjoy!
