Portion Control Apple Pie

October 13, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 7 Comments

Good morning!!!

So far so good with working out!  Today I did 20 minutes jump roping,  15 minutes of Abs and 40 minutes of Body by Jake which was all strength training.  I think with that workout I could of used heavier weights.  I used 5lbs dumb bells, only because I never did the workout before.  It was tough, but not to bad, I didn’t move as quick as he wanted to, but I rather have proper form.  I tend to lose my balance easily.  Do you ever exercise to Exercise TV on Demand?  I love it, it’s like having a huge video library.

Well tonights dish, is well, see for yourself.

I made individual apple pies.  They tasted, juicy, the crust was perfect and I couldn’t be more happier.   I didn’t make my own crust, I used Pillsbury Refrigerated Pastry Dough. So much more easier, then making my own.  What I did is use one pie crust, and rolled it real thin, my goal was to get 8 cut outs from it, so that would be 100 calories each for the crust.


I used a large mouth coffee mug to cut out the circles.  Then I would flatten the dough and roll it out again, until I got 8 circles.  I placed them in a regular muffin pan and topped with my apple filling.  Put a 1/4 tsp of butter and a sprinkle of Raw Sugar on top.  Place in the oven for 25 minutes, until crust was light brown and the apples were bubbly.

Here they are fresh out of the oven.

I love portion controlled and guilt free desserts!  Beats a 300 or more calorie pie and tastes just as satisfying!

Apple Pie Tarts

1 Pie Crust – 10″ round – Pillsbury, I think is best

4 Apples – peeled, diced and cored ( I used McIntosh)

5 tsp. of Brown Sugar

2 tsp – Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

1 tsp.Ground Cinnamon

1/4 tsp.  Nutmeg

1/2 tsp. Lemon Juice

2 tsp. Butter – I used Brumble and Brown

Sprinkle of Turbinado Sugar (brown Sugar will work to)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425

In a large bowl, add your apples, lemon juice, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar.  Mix together till all the apple are coated.

On Parchment Paper, roll out 1 pastry dough thin, put the other back in the fridge and save for another use.  Use a wide mouth cup or large cookie cutter and cut out 8 circles.  You will have to roll out the dough about 4 times to get this.

Place the individual dough in a standard muffin pan.  If you get tears, just patch up with remaining dough or smooth with finger.  The dough is easy to use.

Top the dough with apple mixture, add 1/4 tsp. of butter onto each apple tart and sprinkle with Turbinado Sugar.

Place in the oven for 25 minutes or until crust is light brown and apples are bubbly.

Let the tart cool.  Top the tart with whip cream or ice cream.  Serve and Enjoy!

Makes 8 Apple Tarts

Calories per Tart:  144,  Fat:  6.6,  Cholesterol:  4.0,  Sodium:  139, Potassium:  57.5,  Carbs:  22,  Fiber :  1.4,  Sugar:  7.7,  Protein: .9

They tasted just like Apple Pie!  The crust tastes homemade!  My family loved them, they were gone by morning!  Glad I got two of them!!!

This would be great at parties or even for Thanksgiving!

I’m off to make Peanut Butter!  Have a great day!!

    I like these little rustic looking pies! The whole wheat pastry flour in the crust and the nutmeg as well as cinnamon in the pie filling makes for a delicious treat. Also, they have the extra bonus of it being low in fat and calories! Well done!

    these are so cute! and I find that homemade PB tastes better than store bought- cheaper and so easy, and you can control what goes in it. Like adding chocolate. 🙂

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?

Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, bu Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, but the weather has been awful this week. We’ve had heavy rains, high winds and it was a chilly week. They even had tornado warnings north of us. So crazy.
💙
This week I took advantage of the crappy weather and gave my kitchen a good cleaning. I wiped down all the cabinets, washed the floor and cleared my counter of clutter. Now only if it would stay this clean.
💙
You can swipe and see what our kitchen looked like before. It was so small, now it’s the biggest room. I’m so happy with how it turned out. We did it all ourselves, accept installing the countertops. 
💙
What are your plans for the weekend?

I’m sharing with my new raised garden bed that is growing my veggies and herbs. I got two tomato plants, basil, dill and an orange bell pepper. I have to keep the vegetables up high so the dogs can’t reach them. Tomato plants are highly toxic to dogs.
