First of all, HOW CUTE ARE THESE.
My mom is one TOUGH cookie to please. When I saw her
reaction to these little angels, I felt SO accomplished! (Is that sad? LOL)
She loved them so much that she asked me to make a second
batch so she could have some with her coffee tomorrow morning. Momma goin’ back
for seconds is kiiind of a big deal, y’all! SHE EVEN HELPED MAKE THEM so she
could make them for herself when I’m not around!
Needless to say, they were another huge hit at the house, so
HOPEFULLY they’ll be just as awesome for you!
They are made with FRESH, REAL apples, and actually, that is
your only source of sugar for these! Other than the 1g of sugar from the crust
– AS IF!
Only 150 calories per crostata cup. Yeah, this is real life.
Not a joke. ONLY 150 and SUGAR FREE!
YOU WILL NEED:
1 refrigerated pie crust (15 oz box) – I used Publix’s Rich
& Flaky piecrust, instead of Pillsbury, only because it was slightly
healthier AND cheaper!
NOTE: Be sure to have this refrigerated crust SOFTENED ahead
of time. Directions will be on the box. For Publix’s crust, you just have to
let it sit at room temperature for 15-20mins (if originally refrigerated) OR
50-60 minutes (if originally frozen)
2 medium apples for baking, sliced into thin squares (I used
Red Delicious, but you can use whatever you want!)
2 TBS Splenda (or preferred sweetener – so, yes, if you want
sugar, go on ahead)
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Sugar-free Caramel Topping (like the kind you use for ice
cream!)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 425 F
Unroll softened crust on parchment/wax paper - Cut into circles,
about 5 inches wide
(You can gather up the leftovers, roll with rolling pin to
make another circle if you wish! I just don’t like being wasteful!)
In a bowl, mix together the Splenda and Cinnamon. Add in the
apples and mix until apples are fully coated in the sweet cinnamon mixture.
Spoon the apples into the centers of each pie crust circle,
leaving about a half inch of crust around the pile of apples.
Fold the crust, pinching softly as you go, against the
apples.
Bake for 18 minutes or until crust is a nice golden brown
color.
Allow to cool 5 minutes. Drizzle the caramel topping and
HEYYYOOO! YUM!
Serve with frozen vanilla yogurt or ice cream if you’d like!
Shoot for fat-free, sugar-free, or whatever kind you prefer. I won’t be mad LOL
In joy, enjoy!
