Sprinkle flour and cinnamon evenly on top of apples. Roll out half of pie dough and place in the pie pan. Make pie crust according to pie crust recipe directions (from the above link). The concentrate gives the pie a boost in apple flavor instead of just making the pie sweet.Īpples: peeled, cored, and sliced to fill bottom pie crust (4-6 apples to fill a 9 inch pie)ġ Tbsp oil or dairy-free margarine, see Replacing Butter But, I do really think it is better than my old apple pie recipe with just white sugar. How does the flavor compare? I prefer a less sweet pie, but may that is because I’m choosing to lower my sugar intake. Top with margarine bits and cover with the top crust. Pour apple juice concentrate (or spoon–if the apple juice concentrate is still frozen) on top of the flour/cinnamon mixture to help the flour work down. Sometimes I want just a hint of cinnamon and other days I want a strong cinnamon flavor. Sprinkle flour and cinnamon on top of the apples. They will still be frozen when you put them in the pie shell, so you need to increase the baking time by 10-15 minutes. Pull some out of the freezer before making the pie crusts.
When the apples are plentiful in the fall, I like to freeze peeled, sliced and cored apples in Ziplock freezer bags so we can easily enjoy apple pie all year. Making apple pies less sweet–by replacing the sugar with a couple of tablespoons of apple juice concentrate helps us enjoy pie without losing our waistline. The ultimate way to celebrate pi day would be a dairy-free Quiche for breakfast, Walla Walla Sweet Onion pie for lunch, chicken pot pie for dinner, and several fruit pies to fill in the gaps.
Sweetened only with apple juice concentrate, this apple pie recipe is perfect for celebrating Pi day, 3.14, and every other day of the year.
