Savory Apple Pie
Savory Apple Pie (59)
Finally, a pie that is full of flavor yet not too sweet. Granny Smiths star in this pie filled with a creamy, apple filling, featuring chopped nuts and a hint of buttery onions.
Serves: 9 inch pie
Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 large Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon white stevia powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted (sweet) butter
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion
- 1/2 cup crushed walnuts (or pecans)
- 1/2 cup kefir,* or buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup cold water
- 9 inch prebaked Basic Pie Crust
*A cultured, enzyme-rich beverage, kefir contains friendly bacteria and beneficial yeast that help balance the body's quote inner ecosystem." It supplies complete proteins, essential minerals, and valuable B vitamins. Kefir is sold in health food stores, or it can be made at home from a starter.
Directions:
- Peel, core, and slice the apples, then place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice, cinnamon, and stevia, and toss well. Set aside.
- Place the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and well caramelized.
- Add the apples and nuts to the skillet, and continue to sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the apples are soft.
- Stir the kefir and cornstarch mixture into the crust and sprinkle with more crushed nuts. (If desired, you can pop the pie under the broiler for a minute to lightly toast the nuts.)
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
