20 Minute Vegan Apple Pie Dessert

This simple vegan apple pie inspired dessert is made without baking a single thing, and skips the crust completely so you can jump right into the filling and a smooth creamy topping. It's easy, delicious, and packed with fibre! 

I am a firm believer that dessert should be a part of every day. I have a big sweet tooth and I love finishing my lunch or dinner with a little sweet treat. However I also really like eating healthy, nourishing foods that make me feel good. And let's be honest, not a lot of sugar laden desserts make you feel good after. While there is a place for those decadent triple layer fudge cakes, an everyday quickie dessert that packs protein, fibre, and healthy fats is just the treat I want after a solid day of healthy eats.

Why You'll Love This Recipe 

Simple and quick to make, and no turning on the oven!

It has fibre, healthy fats, probiotics, and no refined sugar.

At 16g of protein per serving it's a great dessert that doubles as a protein booster!

Plant-based and naturally gluten free. 

What You'll Need

Apples and olive oil. You'll be giving the apples a quick cook in your favourite pan until soft and tender. 

Cinnamon, coconut sugar, and maple syrup. This trifecta will season those apples to perfection making them scream apple pie without all the heavy sugars and fats.

Plain vegan yogurt. I like Maison Riviera plain coconut yogurt. 

Vanilla protein powder. My go-to protein powder is Vedge Nutrition for their super smooth and blend-able protein powder that are also organic, non-GMO, and third party tested. You can shop their proteins using my discount code: EVANNRYAN.

Substitutions

Interested in skipping the protein powder and just making this a yummy dessert? You could swap the plain yogurt for vanilla yogurt, or try out a cocowhip topping instead!

I haven't tried this with another fruit, but cinnamon bananas are always delicious.
