Healthy Deep Dish Apple Pie

Whole Wheat Crust with half the fat and all the flavor! Filling low in sugar. This guilt free dessert that everyone will love.

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoon Applesauce
  • 1/4 cup low fat Greek Yogurt
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoon cold water
Filling:
  • 4 pounds of granny smith apples
  • 1/3 cup Splenda/Brown sugar (It's a pre-blended mixture Splenda makes. I absolutely love when baking.)
  • 3 tablespoon orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground all spice
  • 1 teaspoon ground pistachios
  • 3 tablespoon flour

2 tablespoon sugar
1 egg white
1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Crust:
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk Whole Wheat Flour, Flour, Sugar, and Salt together.
  2. Cut in applesauce into dry ingredients. (Continue to cut in until small crumbs form)
  3. Then add in yogurt and olive oil. (With a large fork, fold and fluff dough until evenly combined)
  4. Add cold water.
  5. Knead dough in bowl first. (Keep in bowl first because the dough will crumble at first, but will come together.)
  6. Knead dough on a flour surface until well combined.
  7. Divide dough into two balls. Cove with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
Filling:

  1. Slice apples thinly and place in a large cooking pot.
  2. On medium heat, add brown sugar, orange juice, cinnamon, all spice, and pistachios.
  3. Cook until tender and remove from heat.
  4. Allow to cool and add 3 tablespoons of flour, mix well.
Assembly:
  1. Preheat oven 375 degrees.
  2. Take out dough and allow to return to room temperature.
  3. Roll out dough balls on a lightly flour surface.
  4. In ungreased pie dish, mold one dough sheets. (You want the dough to be molded and crust to be over the edges of the dish.)
  5. Add filling.
  6. Lay second dough sheet over pie.
  7. With a fork, press edges together. Trim overhanging edges.
  8. Mix 1 egg white, 2 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  9. Brush mixture on top layer of the pie.
  10. Place pie in middle rack. Cook for 30 minutes. (When done the crust should be golden brown.)
