• Dot the top with half the butter. Drizzle with honey and maple syrup. Spread granola over top of pie and dot with remaining butter.

ALL-NATURAL WHOLE APPLE PIE - NO SUGAR ADDED

Steps:

• Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Put all halved apples in the bowl and mix or toss to cover.
• Add lemon and vanilla to the bowl and toss apples more, to cover.
• ***** You can add 1/4 - 1/2 cup Stevia or Truvia if you want to sweeten even more, though not necessary :).
• Place bottom pie crust in non-fat butter-flavor sprayed pie pan.
• I place cut halves of apples (unpeeled! :) "face-up" around the pie crust, then I top those halves with remaining halves of apples and add additional halves and pieces as needed (usually 1 or 2 halves or pieces of halves'.
• Pour remaining mix on top of apples and cover with top crust.
• Be sure to put 2 or 3 cuts into top of pie crust.
• Brush Top Pie Crust with 1 Egg (blended) if desired - makes the pie crust look "perfectly" baked!
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden browned.
• BEST SERVED AFTER BEING REFRIGERATED (***Awesome*** :).
• I use an Almond Flour, "SHORTENING-FREE", Low-fat pie for a better pie crust: it's FAR lower in calories and fat and sugar-index.
