Apple Pie Slice

Whey, Casein, Low-Cal Sauce

An apple pie slice made using protein powder! Everyone will want a slice of this.

Ingredients

• 1/2c Unsweetened applesauce (or 1 apple, peeled, diced and boiled)
• 1/2c Almond or cashew butter
• 1/4c Coconut flour, sifted
• 1/4c NZProtein Whey or Casein (gourmet vanilla)
• 2T NZProtein Low Calorie maple syrup
• 1t Cinnamon
• ¼t Nutmeg
• Optional: Extra coconut sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to sprinkle on top to form a small 'crust'

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
2. If you don't have applesauce, peel and cut one apple into small pieces and bring to the boil with 1/2c water in a pot over medium heat. Stir until the apple becomes soft  and mashable.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients together and mix well with a spatula until a thick batter is formed.
4. Spread the mixture into a greased or silicone baking dish. Mold into a square shape until approx 2.5-3 cm thick and gently smooth the top.
5. Sprinkle coconut sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon on the top so it forms a small ‘crust’.
6. Bake in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes, or until the top is golden.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely (approx. 1 hour).
8. Serve warm or cold with your favourite toppings! I used fruit, natural yoghurt and NZProtein Low Calorie Maple Syrup.
