Carbquik apple pie
I am testing out carbquik pies for thanksgiving. I had some apples getting too mealy to eat raw so I slice em up and made a pie.
I used 2 cups of carbquik with about 1/4-1/3 cup of coconut oil and 2-3 tbsp cold water and used a pastry cutter to get a coarse consistency then balled it up in plastic wrap and stuck it in the fridge. I sliced up my apples added 1/2 c of splenda and 3 tbls carbalose (the fllour carbquik is made of - contains no leavening) 1 tsp cinnamon and nutmeng and 1 tbspoon diabetisweet Brown sugar.
I patted the crust in the pan - I had a decent amount leftover that I mixed with 1/2 c of brown sugar diabetisweet and crumbled together to make a french crumb topping.
baked at 425 for 40 minutes - yum!!
Next time I would use better apples - these were nt apple pie apples so they diminished in size and got a bit too mushy for my tastes. My apple pie lovin carb lovin husband loved the pie!! I think it will be better with more fruit but he was satisfied!
By the way I love cocnut oil - i could eat that the way nik eats her PB - by the spoon! (of course i don't, but I do lick it off my fingers!)
