OK, so I did it! I did the apples with the APCS, put them in the Stir Fry Skillet (used a hot plate), added brown sugar, a little butter, a dash of vanilla, a tsp. of cinnamon and used the microplane to grate some nutmeg over the top. I used tiny plastice cups (like nut cups for a bridal shower) and frilly toothpicks to serve it. Made Sugar Free Lemonade in the Quick Stir, too.
It turned out OK! Got 3 bookings, 1 possible Wedding Registry, 2 recruit leads and $50 in orders! Not too bad for about 3 hours of work!

Frequently Asked Questions
What ingredients do I need for a fat-free apple pie?
To make a fat-free apple pie, you will need the following ingredients: 6 to 8 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), 1/2 cup of granulated sugar or a sugar substitute, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and a pre-made fat-free pie crust or a homemade crust using fat-free ingredients.
How do I prepare the apples for the pie?
Start by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples into thin wedges. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Toss the mixture until the apples are evenly coated, then let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
What type of pie crust should I use for a fat-free apple pie?
You can use a pre-made fat-free pie crust available at most grocery stores. Alternatively, you can make your own by combining whole wheat flour, water, and a pinch of salt, avoiding any added fats. Roll it out and fit it into your pie dish before adding the apple filling.
How long should I bake the fat-free apple pie?
Bake the fat-free apple pie in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 45-50 minutes. Keep an eye on the crust; if it starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning. The pie is done when the apples are tender and the crust is lightly golden.
Can I make the fat-free apple pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the fat-free apple pie ahead of time. Assemble the pie and cover it with plastic wrap or foil, then refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Alternatively, you can bake the pie and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven before serving for the best taste.
