100/365 Warm Apple Pie

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

Wow! 3480 page views and 17 subscribers later, we are at the 100th post! Thanks for all of your support, comments, and readership over these 100 days. In honor of this, here is an indulgent, mildly healthy recipe to balance out the 99 previous posts of healthiness and great living.

Naturally after my apple picking adventure, I had to make some apple desserts. Here is the recipe that I made up and that which I have found great success (sorry, no crust on top with this one):

Crust:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp white sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 c olive oil or vegetable oil
2 tbsp milk

Filling:
5 cups of apples diced and cored (about 6 apples)
1/2 stick of butter, melted
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt

Recipe:
1. In pie pan, mix all crust ingredients together with a fork. Press and mold your dough into your pie pan using the back of a spoon. Pierce bottom and sides of crust with a fork; be thorough!
2. In a separate bowl, toss filling ingredients together in a bowl until well coated.
3. Pour filling into pie pan and bake in preheated oven at 375F
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and fragrant.

Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or a tall glass of cold milk. I forgot to take a picture after I baked it and before I knew it, to my joy, most of it was already gone.

In health,

Lauren
