Recipe
We often crave something delicious, but refuse ourselves the pleasure due to the fear of gaining extra weight. However, sweet treats don’t always have to be unhealthy. Today, Cook It will share with you a lifesaver of a recipe for an apple oatmeal pie that will not harm the figure. Low-calorie and delicious, this dessert will exceed all your expectations.
Although the original recipe features sugar for additional sweetness, you can easily replace it with honey, maple syrup, or any other healthy sweetener. The number of apples in the recipe may seem a bit excessive, but don’t worry — they will make the pie very juicy and tender. Be sure to sprinkle the apples with citrus juice, so they don’t darken. Let’s start!

Brush a 10-inch pan with butter and arrange the dough inside. Bake the pie in the oven preheated to 355 °F for 45-50 minutes. Do a toothpick test to check if the pie is ready. |
Apple oatmeal pie is very tender, so let it cool slightly in the pan. Sprinkle the dessert with powdered sugar, if you want. Although it features oatmeal, you can't taste it at all; instead, the pie has a somewhat nutty flavor. Enjoy!
