Opt for a pie crust made with whole wheat flour to increase fiber content and reduce refined carbohydrates, supporting fat loss goals.
Use natural sweeteners like a small amount of honey or maple syrup, or choose stevia or erythritol to sweeten the apple filling without excess calories.
Avoid heavy creams or butter in the filling. Instead, use thinly sliced apples seasoned with cinnamon and a touch of lemon juice for flavor.
Cut the pie into smaller servings to manage calorie intake. Enjoy a small slice as a treat rather than a large portion that could derail fat loss efforts.
Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts instead of traditional ice cream or whipped cream. These options provide protein and healthy fats while keeping calories.
