Low Fat, Low Sodium Apple Pie image

This is truly a low fat, low sodium desert... The crust isn't as 'crisp' as I would like but it still looks and tastes great... The Phyllo has 220 mg of sodium and the crackers have 40 mg... And with only one tablespoon of fat one could eat the whole pie and still comply with a low fat, low sodium diet.

Steps:

  • Core, peel and slice apples. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and corn starch. Mix and set aside.
