Diabetic Apple Pie

We had my in-laws over for dinner the other night. I wanted to have dessert, but my father-in-law is diabetic so I couldn't just make one of my usual desserts. I went looking for a diabetic dessert and found this gem. It was so delicious! I think that I liked it better than regular apple pie because it was not as sweet and only had one crust instead of two. I will make this again. It is so easy and flavorful, not to mention, fairly good for you.

Recipe Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
4 large red Delicious apples, cored, peeled,and sliced (I used golden delicious)
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 refrigerated folded pie crust, (from 15-oz pkg)
Nonstick cooking spray, as needed

Recipe Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well. Add the apples and toss to coat completely.
3. Pour the apple mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. In a small bowl, combine the butter and vanilla and pour over the apples. Cover the apples with the pie crust, pressing against the pie plate to seal, and flute, if desired.
Spray the crust with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.

This recipe yields 8 servings. Serving size: 1 slice.
