Did you know that the standard slice of apple pie has 450 calories? Though delicious, it is not exactly the lightest, healthiest way to start the day. So as soon as I spied this recipe for apple pie parfait in Hungry Girl’s Summer 2018 magazine, I knew I wanted to give it a try.

And then in a medium microwave safe bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water until it is dissolved. The cornstarch water mixture serves as a thickening agent giving your apples an apple pie filling consistency. If you don’t have cornstarch you could substitute arrowroot, instant tapioca, or skip it altogether.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons cornstarch

• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a medium microwave safe bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water until it is dissolved.
