Sassy Apple Pie Made With Whole Wheat Mashed Banana Crust

Indulging in a slice of warm, spiced apple pie is one of life’s simple pleasures. But if you’re watching your waistline, it can be a tricky treat to navigate.

Our low-fat, low-sugar apple pie with a whole wheat crust will leave you feeling guilt-free and completely satisfied.

Weight Watcher Friendly Apple Pie Recipe

Get ready to indulge in a delicious and healthier version of the classic Apple Pie! Our recipe uses a whole wheat and mashed banana crust, giving it a unique and flavorful twist. Plus, we’ve swapped out traditional honey for my favorite, Walden Farms Maple Walnut Syrup in the filling to reduce the calories and sugar content. You’ll love the sweet and tangy taste of the apples, mixed with the warm and comforting spices of cinnamon and nutmeg. This Apple Pie is the perfect dessert to enjoy with friends and family, guilt-free!

Health Benefits of Apple Pie

Not only is our Apple Pie delicious, but it’s also healthy! The whole wheat flour used in the crust provides more fiber and nutrients than traditional all-purpose flour, and apples are packed with vitamins and antioxidants.

Fun Facts About the Recipe

The secret to this crust is using MASHED BANANA instead of the butter. Not only does it drastically reduce the points, but it gives the crust a unique and unexpected flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

Our Apple Pie is delicious on its own, but it’s even better with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. You can freeze cool whip for a low point alternative as well. Serve it up warm and enjoy the sweet, tangy goodness!

Here are some other serving suggestions that are low in fat and sugar:

Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt instead of whipped cream.
Serve with a scoop of low-fat frozen yogurt or sorbet.
Sprinkle with a small amount of cinnamon and serve with a side of fresh fruit.
Top with a small handful of chopped nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, for added crunch and healthy fats.
Serve with a small glass of unsweetened almond milk or other non-dairy milk alternative.
