Low Fat Apple Recipes

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 lb tart apples -about 6 apples
2/3 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 cup fresh or frozen blackberries, not thawed
1 recipe double-crust walnut pastry dough

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan or coat it
with nonstick spray. 2. In a large bowl, combine lemon juice and vanilla.
Peel, core and cut apples into 3/4-inch chunks, tossing them in the lemon
juice mixture as you work. 3. Mix 2/3 cup sugar and cornstarch and toss
with apples. Add blackberries. 4. Place 2 overlapping sheets of plastic
wrap on a work surface. Set the larger disk of dough in the center and
cover with 2 more sheets of plastic wrap. Roll dough into a 13-inch circle.
Remove top sheets and invert dough into prepared pan, letting excess dough
hang over the edges. Gently press dough into bottom and sides of pan. Pull
off plastic wrap. With a rubber spatula, scrape apple-blackberry filling
into pie shell. 5. Roll out smaller disk of dough as above, making an
11-inch circle. Remove top sheets of plastic and invert dough over filling.
Pull off plastic wrap. Press together edges of pastry to seal. With the
tip of a sharp knife, cut 3 or 4 short slashes to vent steam. Moisten a
pastry brush with water and lightly brush top of pie. Sprinkle with
remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Place pie on a baking sheet with sides. 6.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling bubbles.
Cool on a wire rack for about 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.
