Ingredients for Apple Pie Surprise Diabetic

  • 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 4 medium apples)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Whole Wheat Flour
  • White Flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter

How to Make Apple Pie Surprise Diabetic

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia).
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 4 medium apples), 1/4 cup water, and half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are almost tender but still hold their shape (about 10-15 minutes).
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Pour the cooked apple mixture into a 9-inch pie plate.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
