Naked Apple Pie

naked apple pie healthy snack

If you are confused by the title, “naked” refers to the fact that this dessert doesn’t have a crust. It is basically apple pie filling. While it has the comforting flavors of apple pie, it is a healthier snack option. Leaving out the crust makes this recipe vegan and gluten-free. I also made it refined sugar-free. Delicious and easy on the hips, that sounds like a win-win to me!

This recipe is a creation from my mom and I. It happened to us on a few occasions, while we were preparing the apple pie filling, to just eat the filling out of the bowl without bothering to make the crust. The toasted almonds add a bit of crunch and the sweetness from the agave syrup gives a nice contrast to the tart apples. If you feel that the apples are sweet enough, you can leave out the agave. naked apple pie naked apple pie Naked Apple Pie is a great snack or dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth guilt-free. You can store it in portion-size glass containers in the fridge and enjoy it on the go.
