Place the apples, coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a pan with a lid
Leave to cook on a low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until softened
Dissolve the cornflour in a tiny splash of water in a small bowl
Once the apples have cooked, add the cornflour and water mixture and mix well
Once the apples have thickened (takes about 30 seconds), turn off the heat
Leave to cool completely before transferring into the crust, otherwise the hot apple mixture will melt the crust
For the pastry:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl along until it forms a firm dough - add the water a few tablespoons at a time so that you don’t add too much!
Lay out a sheet of greased baking paper on a counter and use a rolling pin to roll out the pastry dough into an oval shape as thin as you can, making sure it’s smooth at the edges
Pick up the baking paper and use it to transfer the sheet of pastry onto a rectangular baking tray
Transfer the apple mixture onto the pastry, making sure it has cooled completely, otherwise the hot apple mixture will melt the crust
Spread the apple mixture across the pastry, leaving a margin of about 1 inch (2 cm) around the edges
Fold the margin of pastry crust over, by picking up the edges of the baking paper until the filling as been completely tucked into the pastry on all sides
Use your fingers to carefully apply coconut sugar on top of the edges of the pastry, if desired
Bake in oven for around 30 minutes, until the pastry crust is firm to the touch and golden brown
Tastes best eaten warm from the oven but keeps covered in the fridge for up to a few days
