Ingredients for Pie Recipe Without Sugar and Butter:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Optional: 1 tablespoon cinnamon for dusting
Instructions Pie Recipe Without Sugar and Butter:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie dish lightly with coconut oil or use a non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out one portion on a floured surface to fit the bottom of your pie dish. Gently press it into the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
- In another bowl, toss the mixed berries with cornstarch and lemon juice until well coated.
- Spread the berry mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough portion on a floured surface to fit the top of the pie. Carefully place it over the berries, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork or pinching with your fingers.
- Optional: Sprinkle cinnamon over the top of the pie for added flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy your healthier version of American pie, guilt-free!
