Indulge in a delicious and healthy apple pie this summer, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while supporting your fat loss goals.
Gather wholesome ingredients for the pie: fresh apples, whole wheat flour, oats, coconut oil, natural sweeteners, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
Opt for tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These varieties provide natural sweetness and require less added sugar.
For a healthy crust, combine whole wheat flour, oats, a pinch of salt, and a small amount of coconut oil. Mix until the dough forms and press it into a pie dish.
Peel and thinly slice the apples. Toss them in a bowl with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a natural sweetener such as stevia or erythritol. Add a splash of lemon juice.
Layer the apple mixture evenly over the crust. For added texture, sprinkle a small amount of oats on top. This adds a delightful crunch while keeping the pie healthy.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy this healthy apple pie in moderation. A small slice can satisfy your sweet cravings without derailing your diet. Remember, portion control is key for fat loss.
