I'm fond of an oatmeal pie crust great for 2 reasons - they're healthy, and you don't need finesse to bake one...just mix it all up and put it in a pan.
For the Pie Crust
Mix 2 cups of oatmeal, 3 tbsps brown sugar, and half a cup of whole wheat flour with 1/4 cup melted butter.
Mix it all up nicely and put it in a baking dish. Press it down well so that the entire mixture is condensed onto the tray and bake it at 180 deg C for 10 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool.
For the Filling
2 apples cored, peeled and sliced
Some chunks of pineapple...mashed or sliced (if you are using canned fruits then remember to drain them)
2 tbsps flour
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsps brown sugar
some ground cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsps cream
Combine everything in a bowl and mix well. Put this on the prepared pie crust and bake at 220 deg C for 8-10 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 175 deg C and bake for 30 minutes.
Enjoy a healthy dessert!
