For as long as I can remember, my aunt has always brought a homemade apple pie for dessert on Thanksgiving Day. I love the taste of warm apples coated in a sweet cinnamon filling, but what really gives an apple pie it’s unforgettable taste is the flakey crust!

The baked cinnamon and sugar wontons are the perfect replacement, and not only do they look pretty, they are flakey and delicious, and are only 20 calories each! Add a little whip cream and cinnamon, and you have all the taste of a classic apple pie without the calories! :)

Ingredients:

For Pastry Layers:

  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp sweetener of choice

For Apple Pie Filling:

  • 2 large granny smith apples (or other baking apple of choice), peeled, and diced into small chunks
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 2 tbs honey
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp apple pie or pumpkin pie spice
  • pinch of salt
  • 2-3 packets of sweetener, (or to taste)
  • Optional: 1(8 oz) Container Fat Free or Light Cool Whip

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper, or foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Lay wonton wrappers out individually on baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sweetener.
  3. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until wontons have crisped, and become lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven, let cool completely on baking sheet.
  4. Meanwhile, to make the apple pie filling, Place all of the ingredients in a small sauce pan, and cook over medium heat, until apples are soft and resemble the appearance of apple pie filling, stirring constantly, (about 2-5 minutes). Remove from heat.
  5. To build the layered apple pie, start by placing one baked wonton on a plate, and layer with about 2 tbs apple pie filling in between each layer, (alternating with cool whip if desired). Repeat layers 2 more times, (baked wonton will be the top layer, and three wontons will be used for each tower).
  6. Top with Cool Whip and cinnamon if desired~ Served best warm!

Enjoy!  Love Katie

    I totally agree with you: a flaky pie crust is the best part of the pie. But wow, these layered apple pies look so delicious too!

    [...] Layered Apple Pie –  My dad’s apple pie competes with his stuffing.  When I was little, I used to call his pies the D-A-P’s.  It stood for Delicious Apple Pie.  To this day, my dad will still call it that!  A slice of traditional apple pie is a whopping 11 points plus.  Katie’s version of apple pie is only 4 points plus.  I also love that it is an individual pie so it is portion control at its finest!

    Morgan- I have celiac disease, too. There’s a recipe for gluten free wonton wrappers in Gluten Free on a Shoestring. The recipe has been reproduced online here: http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/won-ton-wrappers/
