Re: Pies & Pastries
SUGAR-FREE APPLE PIE
You will need for this recipe one double pastry crust.
Preheat oven to 450* F. Prepare pasty, line pie plate with bottom crust; set aside
Over medium heat, in small saucepan, combine and stir constantly until thick and bubbly (about 3 to 5 minutes):
6 oz. apple juice, from frozen concentrate -- unsweetened
2 tablespoons flour, heaping
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Stir in:
5 large apples, Macintosh, Granny Smith or combination, peeled and sliced
Transfer mixture to pie crust and dot with:
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
Top with second crust, seal, trim and flute edges; slit top to allow steam to escape. Brush top very lightly with water and sprinkle with:
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, if desired.
Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350* F. bake for 30 minutes more or until pie is done.
