Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 9-inch round crusts Unsweetened pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, unsweetened applesauce, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then pour it over the apple mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the filling thickens while baking.
Roll out one of the pie crusts and line a 9-inch pie dish with it. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edge of the dish.
Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the second pie crust over the top of the filling. Seal and crimp the edges by pinching them together. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Brush the top crust lightly with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours to set before slicing and serving.
Serve as is, or pair with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream for an added treat.
