VEGAN APPLE PIE WITH BUCKWHEAT CRUST

Facebook0Tweet0Pin0LinkedIn0Print0

Vegan apple pie with buckwheat crustThis vegan apple pie with buckwheat crust is also gluten-free. Apples and buckwheat are a great match, bringing a cozy warm early autumn mood to the table. This pie is great for dessert with ice cream or vanilla sauce, but is perfectly delicious on its own too.

I really can’t think of anything more cozy right now except a piece of pie with a cup of chai.

Or why not combine these two flavors 🙂 ?

Masala chai apple pie

Masala chai tea is one of my favorite teas. I’ve never actually made the spice mix on my own, but I did some research and these are some of the suggested masala chai spices:

  • cinnamon
  • cardamom
  • ginger
  • cloves
  • all spice

Of course there are many versions of masala chai or spiced tea. I picked these spices as I knew already before baking they would taste amazing with this vegan apple pie with buckwheat crust.

Ground ginger, cloves and allspice add a lovely kick to baked goods. I usually use them only in autumn and winter when baking cakes, pies, tarts and cookies.

Ground cardamom and cinnamon on the other hand are my daily favorites. I use them in almost every sweet food and even in smoothies. I also add ground cardamom to my coffee every day 🙂

Here are some of my favorite and most popular cardamom recipes:

Gluten-free vegan blueberry cardamom pie

Vegan white chocolate cardamom donuts

Vegan cardamom loaf cake with chocolate heart

Vegan apple pie with buckwheat crustCelebrating food from Finland

I made this pie using 90% Finnish ingredients to honor the first national Finnish food day celebrating food from Finland. I would’ve used 100% Finnish ingredients, but the spices and sugars are not from Finland.

I’m very proud of our beautiful clean nature and all the plant-based foods grown here. The gluten-free flour mixes I regularly use such as the buckwheat flour I use in this pie are a great example of clean, non GMO Finnish food.

The apples I’m using in this pie are from my parents’ neighbor, a lovely man with the most beautiful garden, which he tends very meticulously. These apples taste like my childhood and they are one of the best foods (in addition to berries) from Finland.

I hope you like this masala chai spiced yumminess!
