Why use stevia when unsweetened organic applesauce will make it wonderful?? Don’t need any sugar or sugar substitute at all!

Are the ingredients listed above to use for both crusts or only for one? If I half the pie recipe, should I half the apple ingredient recipe?

Thanks,
YN

In reply to Brent. I used 1/2 teaspoon of organic Rice Malt Syrup, seems to be about right for us!!!

Does this have to be only granny smith apples? I have a variety of apples from the apple orchard.

Made the pie last night and it was a BIG hit!! I was on the Daniel Fast and was googling was to use mealy apples WITHOUT sugar and you popped up! but since I couldn’t use sweeter of any kind I had to tweet just a little… I did;t use any sweetener. I used a mixture of Rose, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious & red Delicious apples( had a bunch on hand and was trying to make good use of them). I peeled and chunked them up them simmered in natural Apple juice ( just enough to cover), while simmering I added bout a teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of salt then brought to a boil then reduced heat and simmered for about 20 minutes then added couple tablespoons rice flour to thicken juice. cooled for 30 min then poured in to crust ( I put a few pats of Earth blend throughout the bottom crust before pouring in filling sprinkled cinnamon . I latticed the top crust and added a few more pats of Earth Blend here and there on the top crust sprinkled little more cinnamon. It really was just sweet enough and trust me I am a lover of sweets so I was pleasantly surprised! #dontneedallthatsugar

Just made this pie (my first pie ever) – as some of my apples started rotting already I substituted half of them with 200g of canned peaches. Also added a bit of orange zest for that “X-mas”-y flavour – I have to say it turned out delicious. Ist definitely the beginning of a beautiful friendship with baking!
