Apple Pie Recipe Without Added Sugar
Ingredients:
- 3 organic Granny Smith apples and 3 Honeycrisp or Gala apples, peeled and sliced thin
- Two tbsp lemon juice
- One cup rolled oats
- Half tsp cinnamon powder
- Pinch of nutmeg
- One tbsp coconut oil, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Prepare apples by tossing them with lemon juice in a large bowl then lay out flat on the bottom of a pie plate that has been coated with cooking spray or olive oil.
- In another bowl, combine rolled oats, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg together. Sprinkle over top of apple slices so they are fully covered.
- Drizzle coconut oil over everything - this will prevent it from baking dry!
- Bake for 20 minutes until the oat mixture turns golden brown around the edges and apples are soft when you poke down into them with a fork. Can be served warm or cold depending on your preference!
Extra Tips for Baking Apple Pie Without Added Sugar:
- The coconut oil will help the oat mixture stay moist during baking. If you do not want to use oil,replace it with a tablespoon of water or more rolled oats.
- You can also use cane sugar, or any other type of sweetener that your family enjoys, if weight loss is NOT a goal for everyone at your table!
