Wonderful filling I didn't have time to make the healthier crust... So I bought pre-made pastry to roll out. For the filling I followed the directions but used Bramley and Braeburn apples as I was making this in the UK. Absolutely delicious and even better the next day. Loved this recipe for my Canadian Thanksgiving dinner in the UK! Pros: Easy. Cons: Not really that healthy.
Why Sugar? I agree with an earlier comment. Even using "tart" apples like McIntosh or Granny Smith I NEVER use sugar nor do I use butter although it does make it nicer. My biggest complaint is that all of the "healthy" baking recipes ALL call for white sugar or brown sugar when for the most part it isn't needed for sweetness.
desserts dont taste good without 10000000000 cups of sugar!!! =DDDDDDDDDD
Extremely disappointed I am a long time successful pie baker and was so happy to find a recipe that reduced both calories and the amount of fat in a pie. Sadly I followed this recipe to the letter and was so disappointed in the results. The dough for the crust was very dry and ended up being so tough and hard I could hardly roll it out for the pie. The taste was awful! The filling was okay but also lacked something to give it my usual wow taste in an apple pie. For me this recipe is not a keeper and the search continues for a better low fat recipe. Pros: Low fat lower cal than traditional methods Cons: Taste was not there
I used splenda sugar and brown sugar it was very good and cut down on some of the calories. It doesn't change the texture of the crust or the filling. Joan Jacksonville NC
Pie has to be sweet especially Apple Pie because of the tart apples. Enough salt to bring out the flavor and a pinch won't do it. I loved the crust and pie after I added 1 and 1/2 cups light brown sugar and 1 tsp. kosher salt. I love apple pie and any other kind of pie but I want it sweet and full of flavor. Anonymoud
It's the best apple pie that I have tried in along time. My husband had three helpings and he is not a sweet eater. I live in Cloverdale B.C. Canada Tina Cloverdale B.
When are people going to learn that the butter you put in your crust is not going to kill you but all that brown sugar will? I love this site but am amazed at the amount of sugar in recipes that are supposedly diabetes approved! I am hypoglycemic not diabetic but I must watch the amount of sugar and carbs in any food I eat so I have to change almost any recipe on here. I will try this apple pie but I will use the butter and will have a great crust!
Great with a couple tweaks This was the first apple pie I loved because it tasted like sweet apples and not pure sugar. I doubled the cinnamon nutmeg used 1/8 tsp of allspice and a dash of cardamom Pros: Can taste the apples Cons: Needed more kick
