This healthier apple pie recipe is a family favorite that has been passed down for generations. Filled with sweet and tangy apples, warm spices, and a flaky whole wheat crust, this pie is a guilt-free indulgence that everyone will love.

Ingredients

6 cups sliced apples
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
1 whole wheat pie crust

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot with butter.
Cover the pie with the second crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the pie cool before serving. Enjoy!

Interesting Facts

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients to the crust, making this apple pie a healthier option.

Using lemon juice helps to balance the sweetness of the apples and enhance their natural flavor.

This recipe can be easily customized by adding pecans or raisins to the filling for extra texture and flavor.
