Mini Apple Pies
With the holidays just around the corner, I aimed to create a guilt-free and healthy apple pie. Opting for mini apple pies, I utilized monk fruit sugar and honey as sweeteners.
This delightful treat is not only a healthier alternative but also caters to a vegan and gluten-free lifestyle.
Indulge in the festive flavors without compromising your health goals. Enjoy the essence of the holidays guilt-free! 🙂🍎
