pie crusts

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crusts

Whole wheat crust adds fiber.

Combine cold butter with other ingredients to make dough using hands or a fork.

Form the dough into a ball and refrigerate for 1 to 24 hours (refrigerated for 10 hours).

Split the dough into 11 equal parts (5 for the bottom crust, 5 for the top crust).

For the filling, use 1 apple, apple cinnamon sweetener, flour, lemon, and salt, tasting as you go to adjust the sweetness and tartness.

Flatten out one dough ball and cut it into strips to create a grid pattern for the top of the pies.

Prepare a cupcake tray with the dough and filling.

Beat 1 egg in a small bowl and brush the egg wash on the desserts.

Cook in a toaster oven at 375°F for around 15 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.
