Sugar-Free Apple Pie

Sugar-Free Apple Pie Tips

How do you store apple pie?

Sugar-free apple pie will need to be stored in the refrigerator. To store, wrap the pie in its original pie pan with either aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Or you could store individual slices in an airtight container. Whichever way you choose to store your apple pie, it'll keep for about 4-5 days in the refrigerator.

What sugar substitutes work best in this recipe?

There are plenty of sugar alternatives you can use for this sugar-free dessert recipe. We recommend using a powdered or crystallized sugar substitute like Equal, Splenda, Stevia or coconut sugar. That way, you can easily measure it out as it has a similar consistency and texture as traditional sugar.

How do you make pie crust?

It's not as hard as it seems to make the perfect flaky pie crust. All you need is 1-1/4 cups all-purpose of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of cold cubed butter and 3-4 tablespoons of ice water to make this pie crust recipe. To make, combine flour and salt while cutting the butter in until crumbly. Then, gradually add ice water while tossing with a fork until the dough holds together when pressed. Next, divide the dough into two and shape one piece slightly larger than the other. Shape into two disks and refrigerate for an hour or overnight. Then, on a lightly floured surface, roll one disk of dough into a 1/8-in.-thick circle and transfer it to a 9-in. pie plate. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Once your filling is ready, pour filling into the pie plate and place the remaining dough on top of the filling. Trim, seal and flute edge and cut slits in top. Ta-da! Your pie is ready for the oven.
