Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 60 milliliters Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 75 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 500 grams Mixed fresh fruits (sliced apples, berries, and peaches)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Add the cold water and apple cider vinegar gradually while stirring to form a dough. Add unsweetened applesauce and mix until the dough holds together.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle large enough to fit your pie pan. Carefully place the rolled dough into the pie pan, pressing it gently to cover the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.
In a separate large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
Add the mixed fruits to the sugar mixture and gently toss to coat the fruits thoroughly.
Pour the fruit filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Optionally, for decoration, you can use leftover dough to create lattice strips or cut-out shapes to place on top of the pie.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set.
Enjoy your delicious, low fat classic fruit pie!
