Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made (9-inch) Whole-grain pie crust
- 6 large Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 0.33 cups Sugar-free sweetener (such as Stevia or Monk Fruit)
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar-free sweetener, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
Place the whole-grain pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish if not pre-shaped.
Transfer the apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Optional: If you'd like a lattice top or a second layer of crust, roll out another pie crust, cut it into strips, and layer them in a woven pattern over the pie filling. You can also simply place a full crust on top and cut slits for ventilation.
Brush the top crust or lattice with the egg wash to give it a golden sheen when baked.
Place the pie on the middle rack in your preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
