Love that there is no added sugar in the apple pie. although I guess you could use a bit of organic pure stevia if the apples are not sweet enough. We are trying very hard to keep the sugar bowl empty in our house!

I’m not sure the apple pie there shows the corn flake crust, but it looks delish and healthy! I love making pies, I haven’t made a cherry pie yet, this looks like a good recipe to try when cherries will be abundant pretty soon – won’t need to use frozen!
