Indulge in a guilt-free, detoxifying twist on the classic apple pie with this refreshing recipe designed to support your fitness goals.
Prepare 6-8 fresh, organic apples, ensuring they are thinly sliced. Choose a natural sweetener, such as maple syrup or honey, to taste. Incorporate fresh lemon juice, ground cinnamon.
Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and your chosen sweetener.
Roll out the pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Pour the apple mixture into the crust, ensuring an even distribution. Optionally, add a lattice top for a traditional look or keep.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes.
This detox apple pie offers a wealth of health benefits. Apples are rich in fiber, aiding digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness. Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar levels.
Serve this summer detox apple pie warm or chilled, optionally garnished with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added protein and crunch.
