- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose white flour
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 unbaked, deep-dish pie shell, 9” size
- 1 medium apple

- While pie is baking, peel and thinly slice apple.

Helpful hints
- Lower carbohydrate options for diabetics include using 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons Splenda® Brown Sugar Blend instead of brown sugar, and using apricot fruit spread instead of jam. This reduces calories to 216, carbohydrate 32 g and 2 carbohydrate choices.
- Sodium content of pre-made pie crust varies with brands. Select the brand with lowest sodium content or consider making homemade pie crust with reduced salt.
