The Best sugar free pie recipe

I’ve been experimenting with sugar-free recipes for a while now, and I’m excited to share one of my favorites with you – a delicious sugar-free pie recipe. I love this recipe because it’s not only easy to make, but it’s also incredibly tasty and satisfies my sweet tooth without using refined sugars.

My family has been enjoying this pie for a while now, and we always look forward to having it as a special treat. The best part about this recipe is that it’s perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a dinner party or just need a quick dessert to satisfy your cravings.

I’ve also been impressed by the health benefits of this recipe – using natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit means that we can indulge without worrying about the negative effects of refined sugars on our bodies. The combination of these sweeteners with the richness of the cream and the flakiness of the pastry crust is absolutely divine.

🥘Ingredients

For the Crust

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 tsp salt
4-5 tbsp ice water

For the Filling

6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp cornstarch

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
3Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
4Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough just holds together when pressed.
5Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
6In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with mashed bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
7Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
8On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
9Gently transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides without stretching.
10Pour the apple filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
11Fold the overhanging dough edges over the filling, crimping as desired.
12Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
13Bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly at the edges.
14Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.

📝Notes

For a vegan version, substitute the butter with coconut oil and use a plant-based pie crust. The natural sweetness comes from ripe bananas, so ensure they are very soft and spotty. If the crust browns too quickly, tent it with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
