Healthier Apple Pie by Grandma Ople image

Apple pie is my favorite pie. I make it for holidays and just because sometimes too. I wanted to cut out some of the fat from the butter so I cut it down and eliminate the sugar. It makes it caramel and better for you.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
¼ cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup water
½ cup packed brown sugar
8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
  • Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
  • Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.
