Ultra Juicy Apple Pie Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce and sugar substitute until well combined and slightly fluffy.
- Add the egg whites one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift in the whole wheat flour and baking powder, and mix until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
- Peel, core, and cut the apples into large pieces, such as eighths, depending on the size of the apples. The large apple pieces ensure a juicy, fruit-heavy pie.
- Gently fold the apple pieces into the dough, making sure the apples are evenly coated and distributed throughout the mixture.
- Grease a springform pan (about 10 inches in diameter) with unsweetened applesauce. This will help the pie release easily once baked.
- Pour the apple-dough mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth it out as best as you can—it may not look perfect, but that’s part of the pie’s rustic charm!
- Preheat your oven to 356°F. Place the springform pan on the bottom rack of the oven.
- Bake the pie for about 1 hour. After 45 minutes, check the pie. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with a piece of baking paper for the remaining baking time to prevent over-browning.
- After 45 minutes of baking, spread the top of the pie with unsweetened applesauce (about 2 tablespoons), then sprinkle generously with cinnamon or a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Once the pie is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen it, then remove the springform ring.
- Slice and serve the pie warm. It pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
