Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the diced apples, Splenda, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Pour the apple mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
- Sprinkle milk over the filling and dot with margarine.
- Cover with the top crust and seal well around the edges.
- Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 50 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful filling, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or lemon juice to the apple mixture. You can substitute Splenda with other sugar alternatives like erythritol or stevia, adjusting the amount to taste. If you prefer a thicker filling, increase the flour slightly. Ensure the apples are evenly mixed for consistent sweetness throughout the pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. This sugar-free apple pie pairs beautifully with a cup of herbal tea or coffee. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad or cheese platter.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover apple pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help retain the crust's crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen apples for this pie?
Yes, you can use frozen apples, but make sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture in the filling. This ensures the pie crust stays crisp and the filling doesn't become too watery.
How do I prevent the crust from getting soggy?
To prevent a soggy crust, you can pre-bake the bottom crust for about 10 minutes before adding the filling. Additionally, ensuring your apple mixture is not overly wet will help maintain the crust's texture.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the pie and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Alternatively, you can bake it and then store leftovers as mentioned earlier, which makes it perfect for meal prep.
