featherweight apple pie
(1 rating)
What says home and comfort better than apple pie in the fall. This creation offers you all the best that an apple pie has to offer. Warm tender apples with spice but without the high fat content that usually comes with it. I like to use a variety of apples such as McIntosh, Granny Smith and Jonagold.
