Sugar free Apple Pie
A wholesome twist on the classic dessert—this apple pie is free of added sugar, letting the natural tartness and sweetness of green apples shine through.
Ingredients
2 (9-inch) pie crusts
1 (12 fl oz) can unsweetened apple juice concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
6 cups sliced green apples (such as Granny Smith)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix the thickener: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of the apple juice concentrate, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Cook the apples: In a large saucepan, simmer the sliced apples with the remaining apple juice concentrate over medium heat until the apples are just tender, about 10 minutes.
Thicken the filling: Stir in the cornstarch mixture and continue to simmer until the filling thickens. Then remove from heat.
Assemble the pie: Line a pie plate with one of the crusts. Spoon the warm apple filling into the crust. Place the second crust over the top, seal and crimp the edges, and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Pro Tip
For extra depth of flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the filling while it simmers. And for a beautiful golden finish, lightly brush the top crust with unsweetened almond milk before baking.
