So, my dad loves apple pie…I think most guys do. In fact most people do. I like it, but it’s definitely not my favorite, or go to dessert. I’ve been doing a challenge called #75hard where you do 2-45 minute workouts a day, read 10 pages, take a 5 minute cold shower, drink a gallon of water, and follow some sort of diet. Well my “diet” is counting macros with a caloric deficit of 1,750. So I really gotta eat intentionally.
So the concept of counting macros is pretty simple, but actually doing it is the hard part. So I can eat whatever I want within my calorie amount, but what my macros are, are certain amounts of proteins, carbs, and fats. So I have to eat the right foods to hit those numbers just right. So making a healthier version of apple pie saves me a lot of calories.
I used spelt flour, and Pyure for sweetener. So a zero calorie sweetener, and a flour that is full of vitamins, and nutrients.

Healthy Apple Pie (No white sugar or flour!!)
Ingredients
2-Crust (10 inch)
- 1 Cup Butter (Softened)
- 2&2/3 Cup Spelt flour
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1/3 Cup Water
Apple Pie Filling
- 7-8 Medium Tart Apples (I used MacIntosh)
- 1 Tbsp Pyure (Or preferred sweetener to taste)
- 1/3 Cup Spelt flour
- 1 Tsp Nutmeg
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- Dash Salt
- 3 Tbsp Butter
Instructions
Making the Crust
- Mix all the dry ingredients, slowly add the water, and mix with a pastry blender until a dough is formed.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces.
- With a floured rolling pin, roll out one of the dough balls on a floured surface.
- Place the rolled out dough into the bottom of your pie dish.
- Roll out the 2nd piece of dough, and let sit until you finish the apple filling.
Making the Apple Pie Filling
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly. (This helps them get done faster)
- Put the apples, and all the filling ingredients in a bowl, and mix well until everything is incorporated.
- Pour filling into the first crust in the pie pan. Then put the other crust on top. Slice holes in the crust to keep it from exploding.
- Place in the oven, and bake for 40-45 minutes. if the crust is getting done before the apples, put foil over the crust to keep it from burning.
- Remove from the oven, and let cool...or enjoy it hot with some vanilla ice cream!!
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks!!
