Apple pie is a classic fall and holiday treat and I have lightened it up! This is the best healthy apple pie filling and I have given you a few options. You can enjoy this apple pie crustless, or you could use phyllo dough tarts instead of pie dough. They are amazing and taste like mini apple pies! It adds a delicious texture and crunch to your apple pie filling. This apple pie filling is not to be missed!
How To Make Healthy Apple Pie Filling
Start by peeling your apples, cutting them into small pieces, and adding them to a large bowl. Then, add the monk fruit or sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
Next, zest your lemon. Make sure to avoid the pith, which is the white part, because it is bitter. Then, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the apples. After that, thoroughly combine all of the ingredients until the apples are coated.
Then, add 1/2 cup of water to your slow cooker or Instant Pot and mix in your apples. Let them cook on low for 5-6 hours. Enjoy! Or, if you’d like to make mini apple pies with the phyllo shells, once the apples are cooked, cut them into smaller pieces. Then, toast the phyllo shells and add the apple pie filling to the shells, and top with whatever you’d like.
A Few Notes & Tips
Which Apples Should You Use in This Healthy Apple Pie Filling?
This apple pie filling is super delicious however you decide to enjoy it! We love to use honey crisp apples, but fuji and gala work well too.
Which Phyllo Shells Should You Get To Use With This Healthy Apple Pie Filling?
My favorite way to enjoy this apple pie filling is to enjoy it with mini phyllo shells. They are a great alternative to pie crust and you won’t miss the crust at all! My favorite are Athens phyllo shells, but any phyllo shells will do. You can find them in the freezer section of most grocery stores.

When making your mini apple pies, make sure to cut the apples into smaller pieces before putting them in the shells. Then, feel free to top them with whipped cream or whatever you’d like!
