Apple Pie - From the Mind of Christine McConnell

Hello! 

This episode features the making of a plant based apple pie :D I've seen a few people ask for me to upload your Patreon exclusive episodes to Youtube Unlisted instead of Vimeo, so this ones a bit of an experiment... If you'd like, let me know if this is an improved viewing experience and I hope you are doing well :))

Apple Pie - From the Mind of Christine McConnell

Comments

I just got my captive to make this — so delicious and I love that it’s plant based!

Abigail Spradlin

I'm a new member and just catching up. You are such an amazingly talented artist, so inventive! I just wanted to tell you, that I believe it's entirely possible to whip the top, fat part of the coconut cream in the can, i to whipped topping. You were hoping for some topping for your pie although I bet it was spectacular just by itself!

miz vitko

When she took a bite & was blown away by how good it tasted, WHY did I tear up?!!! Lol my period is definitely due

Skyanna Kirby

I made the pies and swapped maple syrup for the honey and it worked great!

Hypnos

I feel the same way about animals. I’ve given up eggs, meat and milk. I researched the way animals are treated too. It’s all on YouTube and it’s horrible. 😢😢😢 Now I can eat without guilt.

DMCM

New member and just loving all the content! Really glad you are experimenting with plant-based baking as we have a few allergies in the house, including dairy and eggs. Haha. Definitely going to make this pie this weekend. Thank you!

Erin Labbie

I cannot wait to make this! My last pie was mediocre at best and I am ready to level up. Thank you x

Jamie-Lee

Yay, love that you are doing plant based baking!

Kate Hanna

You could also use a 1/4 measuring cup 3 times to get 3/4 cups of something.

Cora Kathlea

I have to try this, how awesome.

Kerry Shepherd-Bolt

I am vegan and I love baking! There are so many good recipes out there. I really love any cookbooks by Isa Moskowitz. Her book pie in the sky is great.

Margaret DiLando

Good to know, thanks!

Simón J.

Plant based doesn't neccesarily mean Vegan. Some people who eat plant based still use Honey. There is a distinction between vegan and plant based.

Kaige Sellers

Love this beautiful pie! The tree you designed reminds me a little of an Arthur Rackham illustration. I'm looking forward to trying it. Did you cook the little apple decorations you made from pie dough or is that unnecessary?

Ghoulella

Hi Christine, hi and everyone! So yeah, using honey would make this not plant-based anymore (as it's not vegan) so I was thinking another option could be Olive oil. My mother recommended it to me to top bread buns before getting them into the oven and it worked quite nicely to give them a golden finish. I added a little bit of salt for some extra flavor so I think you can do the same with a little bit of sugar for a sweet recipe. Hope everyone's doing fine!

Simón J.

"I'm just gonna have to do this the caveman way" GIRLLL YOU KILLED ME

Christina

When I started watching this episode, I’ll admit I wasn’t as excited as I’ve been for some others BUT, it changed my life! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the faux egg wash experiment! A seemingly small thing but it means a lot to me as an animal lover (and someone who doesn’t want to take the time to research/experiment 😬) Thanks Christine! I’m going to bump up my tier today. 🖤

Hillary Colley

I’m watching you make this pie at 2am Your voice is so soothing I was falling asleep 😆 pie ASMR

Kitty Lang

I love everything you do. A vegan apple pie? As even you were surprised how good it turned out, I wonder how it sitting overnight in the fridge affected things. Maybe a thought for further experimentation. I often have cold oats as my first meal of the day and they have to usually soak a whole night to be soft and edible. Like tomato sauces that are cooked chilled and reheated taste 10 times better. That much time sitting might of let some chemistry happen.

Matthew Dailey

Thank you for making the videos available in an unlisted playlist on YouTube. This way I can stream to my TV. Vimeo through Patreon wouldn't allow me to do that. I always enjoy your content! :)

Rebecca Jones

So beautiful and it looks delicious....definitely going to try my hand at this!

Amanda Boldreghini

I can't wait to see it :) (actually I can, but now I'm even more excited! ^^) Have a lovely day, greetings from Vienna! :)

Sarah Duczek

Hello Sarah! I'm planning it for this weekend and will announce it very soon! :D I've been working on something big at the moment, which is why I've been a little quiet :)))

Christine McConnell

Hello! The recipe for the apple pie is coming later today and I'm currently working out a format to make past recipes/patterns etc more easily accessible. At the moment it requires you to scroll back endlessly, which I apologize for :))

Christine McConnell

will there be a livestream of the month april? :)

Sarah Duczek

I don’t see any option to watch on YouTube, am I missing it somehow? I’m on the patreon app on my phone

Annie Kendig

I don't think she has posted the recipe yet. I have been checking periodically, and nothing yet. Also, she may have forgotten. 🤣🤣

Angela White

Hi! I love your work! I upgraded to get the recipes and other content for each post but can't find it anywhere. Help? Or maybe haven't been posted yet?

Christine French

Your videos are getting me through quarantine thank you ;0;

[ERROR]

I got that error too but it let me play it when I clicked "watch on youtube" Hope that helps!

[ERROR]

It says the video has been removed? Has it? Anyone see this or know?

Blythe

Amazing pie!!! And I want to go back in time and give you a hug when your pie didn't win. I thought it was pretty. Also - some people are commenting on honey not being plant based, but if you buy local honey from people who love their bees and harvest it in careful amounts, it won't hurt the bees. (and Youtube is way better than Vimeo) Thank you for the inspiration!!!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

Yay! I'm so happy you made a plant based version.

Ambee

Post it if you figure out a good recipe - I am in the same boat.

Aunt Debbie Halloween

WOW! Gorgeous, cheap house!!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

You know, I tried the link from my phone and it didn't work. BUT, I just tried from my laptop and it pulled right up. Thank you. <3

Jennifer Treviño

It worked if you click “watch on YouTube” when the message pops up

Kym Storms

I went in to watch the Apple Pie video for the first time and am getting the message that it's unavailable. "Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner." I'd like to watch it, can someone help me, please??

Jennifer Treviño

I am new and became a patron because of the vintage makeup videos you did. I was happy to watch but sad it was on such a tiny screen. I couldn't see a lot of the tiny details on my screen. I prefer to watch videos on my tv.

Elizabeth Martinez

Loving this better than Vimeo. But I did not get notified of this posting at all. Not had that happen before.

Amber L Haden

Amazing looking pie wow! I have actually been using your apple pie recipe from your book as my go to apple pie I’m exited to try this one!! I wanted to throw out the book Sweet Laurel for interesting plant based options. I’m not a vegan but I checked it out from the LA library as an ebook awhile back out of curiosity and it had some fun options. 😊

The Misfit Witch

So beautiful! It reminds of the pies my mom would bake; she would paint apple trees on them with "paints" made from egg wash and food coloring

This Enchanted House

Wonderful episode (as usual! I found viewing it on YouTube was better than Vimeo (a lot of "buffering" happens on that platform for some reason). Now I need to do some baking. =D

Adrienne Young

Such a gorgeous pie. I recently have found that I have non-Celiac gluten intolerance. So my baking endevors have been failures using gluten free ingredients. But this pie has inspired me to try again.

Aurora Dansie

Sorry for cut and pasting the whole thing 🤣

Amber Arden

Ahhh I wish you could post a video everyday 🥰 you truly are an inspiration ♥️

Felicity

I prefer the YouTube video over Vimeo, my iPad would not play the Vimeo videos. I love to lay in bed and watch videos at night before I fall asleep.

Ellen Margaret

Thank you. Viewing on Vimeo was awkward, and I appreciate this.

Alan E Marling

I love the YouTube over Vimeo! Also that is such a pretty pie!!

Camila

i also prefer youtube over Vimeo

Peggy

Came here to say this - both red and golden delicious are just mealy mush in pies. I do love a Braeburn! If you can find them, York's are lovely! very crispy even after baking and have a natural "spicy" flavor even when raw.

Izile

Beautiful! I’m so happy you have a plant based recipe!

Whitney Haddad

THAT is the most gorgeous apple pie I've ever seen. I make a mess when I bake or cook too! Nice to know I'm not alone in that boat.

Tammy R Dowden

Very pretty, even after cutting. I always make a mess when cutting.

Stacey Friend

Thank you for making this video available on YouTube! Love watching on my tv instead of iPad. I was so excited to see you do a plant based pie. Being vegan, I will have to find a substitute for honey 🐝 can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve next ✨

Courtney McCanlis

Check eBay for her cookbook, I got a brand new copy just about 2 weeks ago.

Courtney McCanlis

yess! you're so inspiring! loved the story of when you just started. Amazing its plant-based, it can be so challenging to convert baking recipes like that. pie is looking amazing and yummi!

Mariko

I love that this is on YouTube...please continue! The pie looks beautiful, delicious and appreciate that it's plant based 😋!

Marie Nemirovsky

I was considering canceling Patreon even though I live for anything you do, BUT, some of the videos have taken me up to 3 days to watch due to buffering or freezing up. This is the first one I've watched straight thru with no issues. YouTube unlisted is the way to go. And as usual your content is amazing. Thank you and keep it coming!

Jennifer Baker

A gorgeous pie!

Lozerpalooza

Excellent video. Conception. Filming. Editing. Continuity. Your search for plant-based alternatives adds a unique side story. Your testing methods and results add dimension. You validate the logic behind your choices. Very well done!

Robert Thomas

Thank you for sharing! I am not vegan myself, but do have several friends who are - I’ll definitely have to make this for them when they next request a pie! Also, I have the same question as Invisus above! I adore baking but have been trying to limit my “stress baking” given the current situation (my husband and I’s offices are typically the recipients). Oh my gosh, Christine! You’re moving after all - which means that you’ve found a house! I simply cannot wait to see it, and what utterly fantastic creative impulses that you unleash upon it! 😉

Letha Anderson

The youtube unlisted is nice, cause I can put it onto my watch later list :] Not that I don't watch them right away

CHOCOMILLIONAIRE

In my book bees are animals. An insect yes, but also an animal. :,(

kirvil tvitekkja

I am not a baker but this video brought tears of joy and belonging to my face. I can't tell you how many times people have told me my creative ideas have been unimportant and here I am a professional creative making my .living from going with my gut. Thank you for adding that bit.

Katherine Young

An easy way to squeeze a lemon without a squeezer is to stick a fork in it and rotate it while you squeeze

Rhonda Baker

Thank you so much for the pep talk. I really needed to hear that. So long as it doesn't hurt... animals... Not people, just animals! Lol! Love your sense of humor. Also love seeing beautiful tasty pies without animal by products!

Gothippy

I absolutely love that this is a plant based pie, although I do love my eggs and milk it’s nice to see other successful options 🙌🏻 please can you do a pumpkin pie, I live in Australia and pumpkin pie isn’t a big thing but I have always been intrigued bye them..... and would be amazing to see what top you would do 🎃🥧🖤

Sarah Jane Holt

I didn’t think I could admire you more, and then you made this. Your presentations never fail to captive in their brilliance but your candor and kindness beam the brightest of all your gifts. Thank you for sharing!🖤

Troy Beard

I am absolutely blown away by how incredible and delicious the apple pie looked and turned out. Besides Pumpkin Pie,...Apple Pie happens to be my favorite pie in the world! You did such a beautiful job and the detail you put into it is phenomenal 🥧 and the fact that it’s all plant based, I loved especially. thank you for this amazing episode, Christine ❤️

Paulette Mickle

Packing up to move huh? Exciting development! Love the update and I can't wait to try baking a vegan pie

Samantha Farrell

I can’t wait to try this! 🖤 I’ve made plant based pancakes, and those were frickin delicious! So I can’t wait to try a pie this way.

Marina salinas

Thank you for being our canary in a coal mine when it comes to totally plant based apple pie. I’ve made so many mistakes when trying to make some of my favorite things more plant based, and then I inflicted them on my friends and family.

Jillian Jewett

I still need to find a copy of your cook book. I have not baked much during this pandemic because I cannot find my Bobs Red mill organic flour in stock 😭 but this makes me want to get out my sculpting tools and up my “pie game!” Love seeing those blue & gold vintage dishes you have in your videos too🥰 they make my heart warm n fuzzy.

Alisa Chavez

Amazing!!! Seriously loving the plant based diet as well. I can’t wait to dry new designs come fall! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!

Melissa

I am so glad you are doing dairy free recipes! I have a mild allergy to dairy so I always have to convert regular recipes to dairy-free if I plan on eating them. This is a great new way to release your exclusives, I can now cast it to my TV through my Roku which is much better than laptop viewing :-)

Katherine

This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing both plant-based and standard recipes!!!

Catherine Olivier

Can’t wait to try this pie recipe! I also like that it’s plant based. Your projects and style are so beautiful and your gorgeous bracelet especially caught my eye in this episode! So sparkly!

Bridget McHan

This is just amazing. Even Martha Stewart couldn't compare to this. You are just amazing! So glad you exist on this planet.

Sarah Cortez

Omg that’s the prettiest pie I’ve ever seen. I’m afraid my version would look like a burned down forest 😂

Gina Radford

pleeeeease do more baking tutorials. I also like to see furniture design tutorials. Love you so much

Kimberly

Thank you so much for this recipe and this amazing video ! :)

Igor Mortier

That is one gorgeous pie! I’m glad you’ve found plant based alternatives, so many more people will be able to enjoy it.

Liv

This is so gorgeous I want to make one so badly!

a.Lynn

Beautiful Saturday Inspiration!

Amanda Lynn

Speaking of plant-based, you can also make pie crust with oil! (I tried olive oil, still experimenting with it)

Nicole Kayal

This was the best way to wake up on a Saturday. I can't wait to try to make this, The red apples are such a great idea! This video, like all Christine videos, will probably be watched another 5 times :)

Bree

I love it!!

Elida r garza

So excited to try this recipe! Absolutely beautiful!

Sara Garcia

The pie looks amazing! I’m excited to try baking it because it also looks delicious!! 🥧

Lori Vanlandingham

Beautiful! Have you tried making whipped topping with the thick coconut layer from the can?

Summer Rose Barnes

I love this episode ❤️ I've been wanting to try a pie crust like this for so long! Also, this was like baking at Grandma's house ASMR 💕

Lauren M

Traditionally, you’re supposed to return someone else’s dessert dish to them with homemade goods you’ve made for them as a thank you. But you have such excellent taste I can almost forgive those who want to keep your pie plates. 😄

Alyssa

Now I want pie.

Theresa Clay

So beautiful!

hindash

Masterpiece !

Egle Jones

Well, duh....thought I'd checked my fire-stick for that app and didn't find it. But there it is! Now I have all my Vimeo videos saved! Thanks!

Sonja Tompkins

I'm so excited to try making this! Thats the one good thing coming out of quarantine, experimental baking!

Meredith Mayer

The pie is beautiful! I love the white dress, too! Those sleeves are just so nice! Many thanks!

Terry L. Steffen

I made your tree pie for Easter based off of online images. It was SO helpful to see how to make it sculptural and pop! Also, plant based pies are always a treat. Thank you!

Jessica Wilcox

Thoroughly enjoyed this! On YouTube also 😘

Janeen

Yea🎉 a video. This looks awesome thank you 😊 I can’t wait to try this.

Lindsey

Viewing was easy and great . I’m at the application of the decorative apples and see the bubbling interior...and mouth is actually watering and I feel that tang you get in the back of your throat from apple pie.

Michael Johnson

HI Christine! What's the china you're using in the last scene? It looks a lot like the set that Scratch inherited from his grandparents.

Mina Murray

Amazing! I know what my plans are tomorrow! :-)

Dave

I didnt think honey was plant based. Totally dont care what you choose to use but just stuck out at me. Anyway love what you do i totally want to be like you when i grow up. Lol im 32 so not a whole lot of time left. You are truly inspiring.

Jessica

I wasn’t really interested in watching a video about pie compared to other tutorials. But, AGAIN I’m leaving your videos inspired, amazed, and so thankful for these videos! Always puts me at ease and ready to go to the studio! Thank you, Christine! I’m gonna go bake a pie now.

April

Magnanimous

Amelia Leland

I love it on YouTube so much more. It's great and way easier to enjoy watching.

Corbin Vickers

Thank you! Vimeo is just not ask that intuitive.

Ruben Esquer

I can almost taste it! So beautiful. Thanks for romancing the ordinary.

Terry Dawn Blake

Thank you so much for putting yhe exclusive on YouTube makes it much easier for me to put on my tv screen. Im so excited to watch this!

Megan

This is so gorgeous--like everything you make!!

Fiona McMahon

What a great birthday present! I woke up to this video and made some coffee cake muffins and coffee while I watched this with my fiancee. This apple pie is beautiful! Thank you for always providing such amazing content!

Janaya

You can cast them to your TV with the vimeo app 😁

Hepziba Gunneman-de Vries

Wow what an amazing job! I loved your last minute add ons at the end, figuring out what to do when it doesn’t come out perfectly is probably the best baking skill to have 👍

Olivia L Basso

Soooo beautiful❤️

Dayton sims

Yes to YouTube!

Courtney McCanlis

Pie looks beautiful it is red delicious that is bad in pies. They are great for eating out of hand, way to soft for Pi's.

Ronda Perry

Thank you so much for posting to YouTube!! I tend to watch yourself either from my phone or my tablet, and for some reason Vimeo gives me a hard time. Posting unlisted on YouTube works so much better, thank you again Christine!

Eve

I remember seeing this on your Instagram a while ago and thinking it was awesome. Thanks for showing us all how it is done! Can't wait to try it out! Been in quarantine with my parents, so this will be a nice surprise for them! The perks of living in an Italian household is we rarely run out of supplies for cooking and baking!

Nicholas Frig

What a wonderful way to start my day. Thank you for making my morning a little more magical. I’ll have to try out your recipe as most of my menagerie can’t eat eggs or dairy. 🖤

Tiffany

What a beautiful pie! Now, to find my pie dish..

Jennifer Faria

I was literally just about to make apple pie! ❤️

Sarah Kane

Thank you for posting it on YouTube! I’m excited to watch

Darcie G

Christine you made a comment about dairy free whipped cream. I make it with the same canned coconut milk you use! Using the solid part and sugar!! 💖

Meghan

Thank you for posting on YouTube! :) I put your videos into a private playlist, so I can watch on my TV. This helps tremendously.

Scarlet

Also this is your favorite song playing in Killing Eve! https://youtu.be/WUqwPif5zdE

Natalie LaBayen

This is wonderful

Natalie LaBayen

Ah, I was about to go to bed, now I'm going to sit up lol. Its five minutes past midnight here in Australia at the moment, sleep can wait

Casey Parsons

Thank you😊 this looks beautiful. I haven't made my own pie in over 20 years. I have the time now❤.

Pamela Belsham

What a great way to start a Saturday!!! ♥️

Marie Nilo

I probably couldn't make the pie look as nice as yours lol but I could give it a shot! This is amazing!🌷

Erin Solomon

Thanks for doing this one thru YouTube. I have a “Christine McConnell” list that I save all your videos in and then watch them on my tv. I haven’t figured out how to do that with Vimeo, so I was happy to see this in YT format! Ya, some big screen watching!

Sonja Tompkins

I can't wait to watch! I've been wishing for new content!

Rachel Blair

What a beautiful pie! ♥️

Tina Canova

Thank goodness!!! I’ve been checking Patreon for the last three days missing Christine 💕💕
