Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Mixed fresh or frozen berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and sliced strawberries)
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- (as needed) Canola oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined and a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface until smooth. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Using a round cutter about 4 inches in diameter, cut out circles of the dough, re-rolling as necessary.
In a medium bowl, combine the mixed berries, cornstarch, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon honey. Toss until the fruit is coated and set aside.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the berry mixture in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a semicircle and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Place the pies on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with canola oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the pies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these low-fat fried fruit pies with your favorite tea or coffee.
