Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1-1/2 cups applesauce
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose white flour
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 unbaked, deep-dish pie shell, 9” size
- 1 medium apple
- 1/4 cup apricot jam
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 450° F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, applesauce, brown sugar, flour, lemon rind, 3-tablespoons lemon juice, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well.
- Pour mixture into unbaked pie shell. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300° F. Bake for 45 minutes longer or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool slightly on wire rack.
- While pie is baking, peel and thinly slice apple.
- Combine apple slices and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a bowl; mix well. Arrange apple slices pinwheel fashion over top of baked pie.

- Place pie on rack of broiler pan. Broil 6” from heat source for 3 minutes or until apples are tender and jam is bubbly.
Helpful hints
- Lower carbohydrate options for diabetics include using 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons Splenda® Brown Sugar Blend instead of brown sugar, and using apricot fruit spread instead of jam. This reduces calories to 216, carbohydrate 32 g and 2 carbohydrate choices.
- Sodium content of pre-made pie crust varies with brands. Select the brand with lowest sodium content or consider making homemade pie crust with reduced salt.
