Crustless Apple Pay

Each month we try to publish one diabetic friendly recipe. It is only fair that for Christmas we have a “Postre” or dessert recipe. Crustless Apple Pay is one you’ll crave all year long. No, it is not a typo, here in Mexico, Pie is spelled Pay. A variation that we tried called for also adding quick oats, I  felt it made it too dry. The walnuts are optional.

  • 6 LARGE Apples (about 2 pounds), peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1/2 cup light apple juice
  • 2 tablespoons light margarine
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
What To Do:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice, honey, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, the nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring apple juice and margarine to a boil. Whisk in remaining cinnamon and the cornstarch and cook until thickened.
