HEALTHY RECIPES COLLECTIONS

Slice into these delicious, healthy homemade pies.

Few desserts complete a meal like a slice of homemade pie. Whether you love creamy pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving or you spent summers baking fresh-picked-fruit pies with Grandma, we all have a favorite pie.

Although many pie crusts are full of shortening, butter or even lard, these healthy pie recipes replace much (if not all) of those saturated and trans fats with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. And we use a judicious hand with sweeteners to let the inherently healthy ingredients in the fillings shine. This healthy pie collection spans the seasons so you can feel good about satisfying your sweet tooth all year without worrying about your waistline.

Healthy Pie Cooking and Serving Tips

• Choosing Apples for Apple Pie: The best apple pie filling combines “saucy” apples (that cook down to a saucelike texture) and “shapely” apples (that hold their shape after baking). Pick one variety from each category. Saucy varieties include McIntosh, Cortland, Macoun, Mutsu (Crispin), Paula Red or Empire. For shapely apples, try Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Jonathon, Jonagold, Northern Spy or Ida Red. See our Apple Buyer's Guide »
• Cutting Creamy Pies: Use a knife dipped in hot water to cut creamy pies into clean slices.
