Ingredients

Crust

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup vegan butter, cold
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup ice water

Filling

  • 5 pears, chopped
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp all spice
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/8 tsp cardamom

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Start by making the crust using a food processor for ease. Add 1.5 cups of flour and 1/2 tsp of salt to the processor. With the motor running, add 1/2 cup vegan butter, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp almond milk, and 4 tbsp ice water. Process until the dough forms a ball and remove it. Repeat the process with the remaining flour and ingredients. Divide the dough into two balls, one slightly larger than the other, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped pears, sprinkle in cane sugar and chai spices (cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom). Cook the pears for 5 to 8 minutes until soft but retaining shape, then remove from heat.
  3. Assemble the pie: Flour a work surface, roll out the larger dough ball and transfer it to a greased pie pan. Crimp the edges, then fill with the pear mixture. Roll out the second dough ball for the top crust, place it over the filling, brush with melted butter or coconut oil, and sprinkle with cane sugar.
  4. Bake the pie: Place the assembled pie in the oven and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  5. Cool and serve: Transfer the pie to a cooling rack and allow it to cool for an hour. Serve the pie slightly warm or at room temperature, optionally accompanied by vanilla ice cream.
