WW 0-Point Apple Pie

Ingredients:

• 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or any tart apple works best)
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice or water
• 1/4 cup sugar substitute (such as Stevia or Monk Fruit sweetener, adjust to taste)
• Non-stick cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

Optional for crust:

• You can opt for a simple WW-friendly almond flour crust, or you can make a crustless version and just bake the apple mixture in a dish (this will keep it 0 points on the WW plan).

Instructions:

1. Prepare the apples:
   1. Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. You want them thin enough so that they soften and cook through during baking.
2. Cook the apple filling:
   1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), lemon juice, and sugar substitute. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
   1. In a large skillet or saucepan, add the apples and pour in the apple juice or water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, until the apples begin to soften. This will create the gooey, cinnamon-spiced filling.

Air fryer recipes

• Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Assemble the pie:
  • Lightly spray a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Once the apples are soft and have released their juices, transfer them to the prepared pie dish. Smooth out the apples in an even layer. If you’d like a crust, you can add a premade low-carb or almond flour crust, or skip it entirely for a simple baked apple pie filling.
• Bake the pie:
  • Place the pie dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the top begins to turn golden brown (if using a crust). If you don’t have a crust, the pie will still be delicious, and you’ll just bake the apple filling until slightly bubbly.
• Serve:
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. The pie is delicious on its own or served with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream (just be mindful of the points for any added toppings).
