Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch shell Whole wheat pie crust
- 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or similar)
- 0.5 cup Apple juice concentrate (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 large, beaten Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly.
In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, apple juice concentrate, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
Line a 9-inch pie pan with the whole wheat pie crust.
Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust and spread it out evenly.
Cut the butter into small pieces and dot over the apple mixture.
If you have a second pie crust, cover the pie with it or create a lattice top.
In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg with water to make an egg wash.
Brush the top of the pie crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
