Aunt Shirley's Dietetic Pie

Everyone in the family has something that they're the best at making. I make the best cookies, my sister, Carol, makes the best pies in the whole world! . . . no competition in our family! This recipe includes an ingredient called free flowing brown sugar. This is a non-clumping or caking version of ordinary brown sugar. It has a lower moisture content then the traditional one, which makes it free flowing much like granulated sugar. It is available at most specialty supermarket. If it is not available in your part of the world, use regular brown sugar and make sure it is broken up, free of clumps. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.

Macintosh or Granny Smith apples are the best choices for apple pie because they are the least mushy apples.  

For this clever creation, butter and pecans are put into the pie pan before the bottom pastry. After the pie is completely filled with sweet, spiced apples, topped with a second crust and baked, the entire pie is flipped to reveal a luxurious pecan glaze.

This easy-to-do recipe reminds us that apples need very little help to make a memorable pie. Apples are simply layered in the pie pan, with each layer sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Then they are topped with a crust and dabs of butter. And in less than an hour, this classic pie bakes to perfection.

Sliced Granny Smith apples are sugared, sprinkled with cinnamon and tucked into the fridge overnight. A lovely pastry is rolled out, placed in the pan and gets filled with the apple mixture. The top crust is then added and the pie baked to perfection. 

Tart juicy apples, sugar, a bit of flour for thickening, and a shake of cinnamon is all you need for this pie 's filling. The apples are sugared, floured and spiced, and then the mixture is piled into a pastry crust, dotted with butter and fitted with a top crust. An hour later, a beautiful, fragrant pie emerges from the oven.  

The trick to this pie is pre-cooking the apples with lots of sugar and cinnamon to sweeten and spice them up. The cooked apples are spooned into an unbaked pie shell, covered with a top crust and baked in the oven until golden brown.
