INGREDIENT NOTES

CORNSTARCH

  • It helps to thicken the apple mixture, but it’s not necessary, so you can skip it if you don’t have it.

APPLES

  • They are the key ingredient of our recipe. Combine the Honeycrisp and GrannySmith apples for a sweet and sour flavor. Always use fresh apples and avoid canned pie filling to keep the calories low.

ROLLED OATS

  • The addition of rolled oats will provide extra crunch and fiber. You may use the quick oats in their place, but try to avoid the instant oatmeal packets as they may contain sugar.

BROWN SUGAR

  • The recipe uses the zero-calorie brown sugar substitute from brands like Lakanto or Swerve. It will add the sweetness without increasing the points. You may use regular brown sugar, but it will increase the points in comparison.

BUTTER OR MARGARINE

  • The use of melted margarine or light butter will provide you with a crispy and rich topping. Use reduced-fat margarine or just a spray of butter to lower the points further.

COOKIES

  • The use of crushed sugar-free cookies or light vanilla wafer cookies will give you the feel of a crunchy pie crust without increasing the calories. Sugar-free graham crackers will also work for this WW recipe.

FAQs

Which cookies work best for the topping?

  • Sugar-free graham crackers, light vanilla wafers, or reduced-fat shortbread cookies work best for the topping of this apple pie.

  • You may also use it, but it will increase the points, and you have to adjust it. That’s why we recommend you use fresh apples always.
