Healthier Apple Pie

Written by on in Dessert

Happy Pi Day! You need to eat pie on Pi Day! Enjoy this pie without the guilt.

I saved on the calories by cutting down on the sugar and only using one pie dough (so it’s open on the bottom).

Ingredients

  • 6 Apples (I used Ruby Frost which are a sweet and tangy apple; the sweetness from the apple helped me cut down on the refined sugar)

  • 1 TBS lemon juice

  • 1 TBS cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 2 TBS corn starch

  • 2 TBS Truvia brown sugar

  • 2 TBS agave syrup

  • 1 store-bough pie dough

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Peel apples. Slice apple into thin slices (not paper thin).
  • As you cut each apple, put in a large bowl with the lemon juice. Toss each apple so it gets coated with the lemon juice as you cut. This will help avoid the apples turning brown.
  • Once all the apples are cut, add the cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, corn starch, Truvia, and agave. Mix well.
  • Add the apples to a pie dish. Place the pie dough shell on top of the apples. Make 4 slits in the top of the dough to allow the steam to escape as the pie bakes. Add a silicon ring (or foil) to the ends of the pie. This will help avoid the ends burning while the pie bakes.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. At 30 minutes of cooking time, remove the silicon ring/pieces of foil from the ends.
