This pie isn't only delicious but it looks wonderful, almost too good to eat. I made this a vegan pie because I don't do dairy. It takes a while to make, but its well worth the effort. I used my Easy Spelt pie crust for this pie. I included the recipe for the Apple Pie Spice and the pie crust in the directions below.

At Christmas, my mom ALWAYS baked an apple crisp in her deep glass pie dish, and we unashamedly scarfed it down. The apples made it healthy, sure, but what about all the hard fat? When we went vegan and couldn't buy a dairy-free margarine, that was a dilemma. Thankfully, we don't have to resort to Crisco. We found and modified this recipe on Vegweb, and now our holiday apple crisp is every bit as sinfully sweet, appley and crispy as it ever was.

I got the original recipe for this out of the South Beach Diet 30 minute meal cookbook. It wasn't vegan. Because I like to eat vegan often I changed some of the ingredients. My pancake was more like a crepe on the outside and more custard inside then puffy,which I think is due to using banana instead of the eggs. You could probably use Ener-G egg replacers here as well. The original recipe had 210 calories, so making it vegan made it even better.

"I discovered this recipe on the Upper West Side at a swanky bar. This will be the new 'in' drink! A Lady apple makes a great garnish if you can find one."

"If you like pumpkin, you'll love these moist muffins from Mary Ann Taylor of Rockwell, Iowa. With an appealing streusel topping and tender apple bits throughout, they make a great accompaniment to a harvest meal or a handy breakfast on the run."

"Butterscotch and apple are such a great combination, these cookies are to die for!!"

"We have a lot of apple orchards in our state, so this definitely represents our area. This is one of my favorite apple recipes. It has a nice combination of flavors."

"'Even if you're like me and don't care for yogurt, you'll love these apple muffins,' promises Cheri Huff of Litchfield, Michigan. 'I sometimes individually wrap them in colored plastic wrap and tie them with a ribbon to sell at bake sales or share with others."
