No-Sugar Apple Pie

The heart healthy benefits of the no-sugar apple pie dessert are the apples which give it a rich source of flavonoid and

polyphenols that are powerful antioxidants. Apples contain large amounts of minerals and vitamins that help strengthen the blood and also help lower cholesterol. Eating apples in any form at least once a day for a whole year have been shown to promote weight loss and lower heart disease markers. Apples are also a good source of the immune-boosting vitamin C (providing 14 percent of the daily value). More studies have shown that by eating 100g of apple can give an antioxidant effect that equals taking about 1,500mg of vitamin C. This no-sugar apple pie will help satisfy your hunger with fewer calories, while melting in your mouth with just the right combination of cinnamon and apples.
