Opt for a whole wheat pie crust to increase fiber content and reduce refined carbohydrates.
Use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia instead of refined sugars to cut down on added sugars.
Choose fresh apples and slice them thinly for a naturally sweet and juicy filling without added sugars.
Enhance flavor with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of vanilla extract to add depth without extra calories.
Top your pie slices with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt instead of ice cream or whipped cream for added protein and less sugar.
Make a healthier streusel topping using oats, a small amount of butter or coconut oil, and a dash of cinnamon for crunch and flavor.
Enjoy a slice of pie in moderation to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping calorie intake in check.
Bake the pie at a slightly lower temperature to prevent excessive browning and to retain nutrients in the apples.
