Ingredients

  • 1 14.5-ounce box store-bought pie dough
  • 2 tablespoons margarine room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/8 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 5 assorted baking apples about 2 pounds
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soymilk plus more if needed

Instructions

  • Place a baking sheet in oven and preheat to 400.
  • Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 piece of dough; refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • For cinnamon-roll crust: Lay remaining piece of dough on lightly floured surface and spread margarine evenly on top. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over margarine, and press gently to help mixture adhere. Roll pie dough into a tight log. Trim about 1 1/2 inches from both ends; cut remaining log crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
  • Arrange pieces cut-side down in a snug circle on a piece of floured parchment paper. Dust with more flour. Gently roll it into a 10-inch round. Refrigerate until ready to assemble pie.
  • Peel and slice apples. Toss with lemon juice, vanilla and remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Pour apples into the dough-lined pie plate.
  • Invert cinnamon-roll crust on top and peel off the parchment (it's OK if the individual rounds separate a bit in the process). Pinch crusts together; Brush with beaten egg.
  • Set pie on hot baking sheet in oven; bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if top browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
  • Whisk the confectioners' sugar and soymilk in small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the pie.
