This is a recipe for an apple pie made of rye breadcrumbs. It is made without eggs and without flour, which makes this dessert very diabetic-friendly, while blueberries and apples with cinnamon make this pie delicious.
Ingredients:
Apples (peeled, core removed, cut into cubes) – 2 lb.
Step 1 Make stevia solution: Dissolve 2 packets of stevia in 1 cup of boiling water. Step 2 Prepare rye breadcrumbs: Take a loaf of rye bread, cut off the crust. Crumble the bread on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350 F and dry the crumbled bread for about 15 minutes. Then take the crumbled bread out of the oven, let it cool, and grind it in the blender. Step 3 Add cinnamon to the ready breadcrumbs and mix. Step 4 Put the cut apples in a bowl, cover with the Stevia solution, and leave for 25 minutes. Then put the apples in a colander and let the excess fluid drain. Step 5 Wash the blueberries and dry them on a paper towel. Then add them to the apples and mix everything carefully, avoiding to damage the blueberries. Step 6 Grease the pie pan with vegetable oil and pour in a layer of the breadcrumbs, so the the bottom of the pan doesn’t show. Then put a layer of the apple-blueberry mixture, compress it with your palm. Step 7 Add another layer of breadcrumbs, but much thinner this time, so the apple-blueberry mixture is clearly visible. The top layer should be the breadcrumbs. Step 8 Preheat the oven to 390 F. Bake the apple-blueberry breadcrumbs pie for 1.5 hours. During baking, it is necessary to crush the cake on top 3 times with a spoon so that it “sits down” evenly. Once the pie ready, remove it from the oven, serve and enjoy!
