Country Gal’s Sugar Free Apple Pie

 Country Gal pointed out my blog is light on desserts...

Enjoy her gracious share of an amazing apple pie!

Ingredients:

  • 6oz. Apple juice concentrate unsweetened
  • 2 T corn starch
  • 6-8 cups thin sliced apples  (I use red delicious or gala — I also use 8 cups as I love a lot of apples)
  • ¼ t nutmeg
  • 1 t cinnamon 
  • 1 T butter
  • 2 crust pie crust (I use Pillsbury Ready Crust)

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425*. Put one pie crust in pie plate, set aside.

Peel and slice the apples and place in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine corn starch, nutmeg, cinnamon and butter.

In a small pot bring apple juice concentrate to a boil, add spice mixture to boiling juice and blend well. Pour over apples and stir to coat all apples slices.

Add apple slices to bottom pie crust, place second crust on top and press edges to seal. Cut small slits in the crust to vent and bake for first 30 minutes at 425*. Reduce heat to 375* and bake for 30 minutes longer. Remove from oven and let cool.

I bake mine on the lowest rack for the first 30 minutes, then move up to the center rack for the last 30 minutes. This makes for a brown and flaky bottom crust. 

Blessed be… and happy cooking!
