Enjoy a guilt-free dessert with this sweet yet low-sugar apple pie recipe. Perfect for those on a weight loss journey, this pie balances flavor and health.
Select firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or sweet-tart varieties like Honeycrisp to enhance the flavor.
Combine ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and your chosen natural sweetener in a bowl to create a flavorful spice blend.
Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice. This prevents browning and adds a zesty undertone.
Evenly mix the apples with the spice blend to ensure each slice is well-coated with flavor.
Sprinkle cornstarch over the spiced apple mixture. This helps to thicken the filling as it bakes, creating a luscious texture.
Roll out your low-calorie pie crust and carefully place it into a pie dish, ensuring it fits snugly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
Look for a golden-brown crust and tender, bubbling apples to ensure your pie is perfectly baked.
