Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sliced apples, Splenda, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Roll out the pie crust to a pizza size and place it on a cookie sheet.
- Place the apple mixture in the center of the crust and pat with butter.
- Fold the crust edges over the apple mixture until enclosed.
- Brush the crust with egg white.

Tips & Substitutions
For a slightly different flavor, consider adding a dash of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. If you don't have Splenda, you can substitute it with another sugar alternative like erythritol. Make sure to slice the apples thinly for even cooking. If the crust edges are too thick, you can trim them before folding to create a more uniform tart.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the apple tart warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. It pairs beautifully with Lemon Velvet Ice Cream. For a complete dessert experience, consider serving it alongside coffee or tea for an afternoon treat.

To store leftovers, place the cooled apple tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 10 minutes until warmed through, ensuring the crust stays crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of apples instead of Granny Smith?
Yes, you can use other tart apples like Braeburn or Honeycrisp. However, Granny Smith apples are ideal for this recipe due to their firmness and tartness, which balance well with the sweetness of Splenda.
How do I prevent the crust from getting soggy?
To prevent a soggy crust, ensure you pat the apple mixture dry before placing it on the crust. You can also pre-bake the crust for a few minutes before adding the filling, which helps to create a barrier.
Is this recipe suitable for freezing?
Yes, you can freeze the apple tart. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in the freezer. When ready to enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as suggested for the best texture.
