Having given up sugar fruit has become the new candy in my life. You cannot believe how sweet fruit becomes when you give up sweets and refined food with added sugar. So I like to buy fruit at its best in the season at hand. In the fall that means I stock up on apples. In the spring I’m looking at the remaining apples and how to use them. Some of them don’t look appealing enough to eat as a snack, some had to be composted, but those on the edge are great for cooking with. Also I found a pie crust in the fridge that needed to be used up. So I made this pie that is kind of cross between a crisp and a pie. A single crust apple pie. I’m making homemade ice cream to go with it.
