Sugar Free Apple Pie
3 large apples that are crisp and tart, peeled and sliced into small pieces - I used Paula Reds, which I've never had before, but which were delicious!
2 T lemon juice sprinkled over the apples
2 1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t allspice
2 1/2 T unbleached white flour
2 1/2 Tablespoons apple juice concentrate
Combine all ingredients together and set aside.
Crust:
1 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c very cold butter
5-6 T of very cold water
Blend flour and butter with a pastry cutter until coarsely crumbled. Add water a few tablespoons at a time just until the crust begins to come together enough to form a ball. Place ball in the the fridge for 15 minutes. Then place it between two sheets of parchment paper and roll thin. Place the whole thing in the freezer for about 5 minutes. Then place the crust in a dish of your choice. I used a Pyrex round dish because I wanted my crust to fold over the apples. You could just use a regular pie dish and rather than trimming the edges around the dish, just fold the excess in over the top of your pie.
Benjamin sure enjoyed his pie!!!

Sharon,
I think that buying that size will work just fine. You are sooo thoughtful. I look forward to seeing you guys in the next month or so.
