Ingredients
To create this delightful pie, you will need the following ingredients:

- 6 medium-sized apples, peeled and sliced

- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
- Optional: 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
Follow these steps to prepare your Healthier Apple Pie:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice, coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and arrowroot powder. Toss to ensure the apples are evenly coated.
- Roll out the pre-made whole wheat pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
- Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, ensuring an even layer throughout. Dot the top with small pieces of butter or coconut oil to enhance flavor.
- Cover the pie with another layer of crust if desired, or create a lattice pie top. If using a full crust, make sure to cut slits for steam to escape. Brush the top with an egg wash if using.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- Once baked, allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your deliciously healthier apple pie!
