Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and unsweetened applesauce. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
Stir in the chopped pecans and walnuts, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly until all the nuts are well coated.
Pour the nut mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the nuts are toasted and the filling is set.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Once cooled, slice the pie into 8 portions and enjoy your low-fat nutty delight!
