Hey everyone! Today is my Birthday, a perfect reason to eat pie! There was just one tiny problem: I'm on a diet. I love food, but my weight went up (a lot) so it was really time to do something about it before it would be too late. Some people might say 'It's your Birthday, just have some fun and eat what you like!' but I didn't want to buy a pie that would be full of those unnecessary calories, so I decided to make something a bit healthier! I'm a huge fan of Apple pie, and luckily there is a 'low calorie/diet' version. You can find the recipe below:


I used a bit of flour, olive oil and a bit of margarine as well. You could make the pie even healthier if you make the pie crust yourself and replace the sugar with something else. I'm not a huge fan of synthetic sugar substitutes, but you could also try honey, applesauce or jelly/jam etc.

Time to get started! Mix the egg, quark and the baking mix. Use a bit of flour if it gets too sticky. Once you have a big ball of dough, place everything in the refrigerator for a couple of minutes.

Now you can peel the apples, remove the core and start slicing them. You can make the slices as big or small as you like. Mix the slices of apple with the cinnamon and the sugar.

Coat your pie tin with the margarine. Now it's time to cover it with a tin layer of dough (use about 2/3 of what you have), then you can add the apple mixture. Last but not least, use the remaining bit of dough to create the top crust, and lay it over the pie.


Brush the top of the pie with a bit of olive oil. Bake the apple pie in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) until it's golden brown (which should take 40-50 minutes).

And that's my low calorie Apple Pie recipe! Now you can treat yourself without gaining an insane amount of weight ;) I'm going to enjoy the rest of my Birthday, enjoy your slice of virtual pie! (I promise, you'll gain zero calories).
