This recipe is one my husband made up recently.  He had been trying to perfect an apple pie that he thought was more healthy than other recipes he had tried in the past.  I must say it was quite delicious.  The crust is yummy without using lard or vegetable shortening.  I hope you decide to give it a try.

Apple Dream Pie
