This light apple pie is made with wholemeal spelt flour and a little honey, with less sugar and fat than the traditional version. It is rich in fiber, and thanks to the sweet-tart apple filling it does not need much sugar. The oats soak up the juice of the filling so the pie does not go soggy.

Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Quickly knead the dough ingredients (first rub the butter into the flour). Divide into two parts, wrap in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (165 °C fan). Line a 20x30 cm tray with baking paper.
Peel and grate the apples and squeeze out the juice. Mix with the cinnamon, honey and lemon juice.
Roll half of the dough out to the size of the tray and place it in the tray, sprinkle with the oats (which absorb excess juice), and spread the apples over it.
Roll out the other half, lay it on top, press the edges together and prick with a fork.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Slice once cool. It keeps for 4 days in the fridge.
