Pumpkin Apple Pie Recipe
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 prepared 9” pie crust
Apple Pie Filling
- 2 medium Honeycrisp apples, peeled, core removed and sliced (about ¼” thick)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (plant based, as needed)
- ½ teaspoon each: nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger
- Pinch of fine sea salt
Pumpkin Pie Filling
- ¾ cup organic canned pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 8 Medjool dates, pitted (weighed 6 ounces)
- ⅔ cup coconut cream (from 14 ounce can of chilled coconut milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch (or cornstarch)
- 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Make pumpkin filling: In the bowl of a food processor add medjool dates, pumpkin puree, coconut cream, vanilla extract, arrowroot starch and spices.. Begin processing until dates start to break down into small pieces. Remove the lid and carefully scrape down the sides of the bowl. Replace lid and process for another 3–4 minutes, stopping the processor to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mixture should be smooth and creamy, with no large chunks of dates visible. Set aside.
- Prepare apples: Add butter, sliced apples and spices to medium skillet over medium heat. Cook apples for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly softened. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
- Assemble pie: Place prepared pie crust on baking sheet. Layer in apples so they cover bottom of pie crust. Add pumpkin filling over apples, spreading evenly with spatula.
- Bake: Bake pie for 45–50 minutes, or until top is lightly golden and pumpkin pie filling is set. Remove from oven and cool at room temperature for one hour, then cover pie and chill in fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
