No-Sugar Apple Pie

Recipe View Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of the thawed apple juice concentrate with the cornstarch and cinnamon until smooth. This mixture will act as our natural sweetener and thickening agent. Set aside. (2 minutes)

Recipe View In a large saucepan, combine the sliced apples with the remaining apple juice concentrate. Simmer over medium heat until the apples are tender but still hold their shape, approximately 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (12 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the apples. Continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pie filling consistency, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully spoon the apple mixture into the pastry-lined pie plate, mounding it slightly in the center. Cover with the top crust. Seal and flute the edges for a decorative finish. Cut several steam vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, approximately 45 minutes. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil or use a pie shield. (45 minutes)

Recipe View Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly. (60 minutes)
