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. 🙂

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
