About Applepie
Apple pie is a traditional dessert originating from Europe and widely associated with American cuisine. It consists of a flaky pastry crust filled with spiced apple slices, sugar, and often a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg. Nutritionally, a standard serving of apple pie (about 1/8 of a 9-inch pie) contains 236.8 calories, 1.6g protein, 33.6g carbohydrates, 11.2g fat, and 1.6g fiber. While it provides small amounts of calcium (8mg), iron (0.4mg), and vitamin C (0.8mg), it is generally higher in sugars and fats, which makes it a less nutrient-dense choice compared to raw apples.
Health Benefits
- Provides dietary fiber (1.6g per serving) which supports digestive health when made with whole apples.
- Contains small amounts of iron (0.4mg), a mineral essential for oxygen transport in the blood.
- Offers a modest amount of calcium (8mg), which contributes to bone health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store apple pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven for a crisp crust.

Is apple pie healthier than other desserts like chocolate cake or ice cream?
