AddApple Pie with Granola
Crumb Topping 30 minutes
With a flaky crust, tasty filling, and a crumb topping that is both sweet and crunchy, this quick and easy home-style light apple pie is every bit as delicious as the high-calorie version, but a lot easier on the waist line!
Ingredients
10 phyllo dough sheets
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 Tablespoon Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons light butter
1 (20-ounce) can no-sugar-added apple pie filling,
1 (.14-ounce) pouch Alpine spiced cider sugar-free apple-flavor drink mix from a (1.4-ounce) box of 10 pouches
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Make Pie Shell:
Take 10 sheets of phyllo dough and lay them flat.
Spray each sheet of dough with butter-flavored cooking spray. Individually stack the sheets into a pie plate, like tire spindles, crossing in the center. Allow the extra to hang over the sides of the pie plate.
With sharp scissors, cut the dough hanging off the edges of the pie plate.
Place the pie dough in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown.
Make Granola:
Take the cut off dough and finely chop it. Place it in a medium-size mixing bowl.
Add the oatmeal, Splenda Brown Sugar Blend, pumpkin spice mix, and light butter to the mixing bowl.
Using a spatula, mix the ingredients together. Set aside.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread the oatmeal mixture on the baking sheet. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes, just until the butter melts.
Remove from the oven and stir the oatmeal mixture around the baking sheet with a spatula, making a caramelized granola.
Make Pie Filling:
In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the apple pie filling and the drink mix.
Cover with wax paper and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes. Stir and heat for 1 additional minute.
Assemble Pie:
Place the apple filling in the prepared pie shell.
Top with the granola and serve.
