These No-Bake Apple Pie Cups offer all the flavours of apple pie with no oven required, no added sugar and a healthy dose of fibre and healthy fats! Whip up a batch of these cups and store in the fridge or freezer for a quick and healthy snack or treat! {Gluten-free, dairy-free & vegan}
I hope you’re not getting tired of the cup posts yet, because I certainly am not getting tired of the cups. In fact, I’m finding the cups to be SUPER convenient, to the point where I want to make even MORE cups.
Yeah. I may be getting a little cup-obsessed.
Cups of all different sizes and flavours (like these Mini Turkey Apple Meatloaf Muffins, Mini Broccoli Cheddar Quinoa Cups and Mini Blueberry Banana Muffins) have officially taken over my freezer, but I’m not complaining ONE BIT because it means quick, easy and healthy meals and snacks for my family and I.
Even though there is virtually no room left in our freezer, I’ll tell you one thing. No one in the family is complaining!
It’s what I like to call healthy convenience food.
This week, I added to the cup selection with these A-MAZINGGG No-Bake Apple Pie Cups.
Now that we’re more than half way through August (crazy, right?!), I’m starting to crave more of the Fall flavours like pumpkin, apple and squash. And REALLY, let’s be realistic here.
What better autumn flavour (or smell!!) is there than apple pie?!
Now I’ll be honest. I’m not much of a pie or tart person. Never have been and probably never will be. The flavourless crust kinda bores me and leaves much to be desired. BUT I do love the fillings of both pies and tarts.
These No-Bake Apple Pie cups are basically like a marriage between a pie and a tart without the boring crust. They have their own unique flavour and texture with the dried apples mixed with the dates, cinnamon and apple pie spice.
These ingredients paired together lend a sweet and satisfying “apple pie meets pecan tart” flavour with a touch of crunch from the pecans.
And the best part is?
There is absolutely NO ADDED SUGAR (although you’d never guess). ANDDD plenty of healthy fats and fibre.
UMMM yeah!!
Plus, there is absolutely NO BAKING required. No slaving away over a stove or oven. Just toss all of the ingredients into a food processor and press start.
Doesn’t get much easier than that!
Although you can roll the mixture into balls, I love the concept of cups because you can use the flat surface to top them up with even MORE super delicious ingredients, like additional dried apples and chopped pecans, which is basically like the icing on the cake.
And it makes for a pretty presentation as well, especially if you’re serving to guests!
Which is highly recommended by the way. Because really, who doesn’t want to eat apple pie in cup form with no added sugar?
Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me!
