Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Mixed fresh or frozen berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and sliced strawberries)
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0 (as needed) Canola oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the unsweetened applesauce, nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined and a dough begins to form.

Step 4

Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface until smooth. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Step 5

Using a round cutter about 4 inches in diameter, cut out circles of the dough, re-rolling as necessary.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the mixed berries, cornstarch, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon honey. Toss until the fruit is coated and set aside.

Step 7

Place about 1 tablespoon of the berry mixture in the center of each dough circle.

Step 8

Fold the dough over the filling to create a semicircle and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.

Step 9

Place the pies on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with canola oil spray.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the pies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these low-fat fried fruit pies with your favorite tea or coffee.
