To burn it off
Apple pie is sweetened apples in a pastry case. The apples are light; the pastry and sugar are where the calories are.
A slice is 300 kcal, with 43 g of carbs, 14 g of fat and 3 g of protein. Most of the fat comes from the butter in the pastry.
In the UK it rarely comes alone. Custard, cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream all add on top.
Tips
- 1Go for a small jug of custard instead of a big pour of cream.
- 2Leave some of the thick pastry edge if you're not fussed about it.
- 3Serve smaller slices and a bowl of fruit alongside.
Where it comes from
Apple pie was English long before it was American. The oldest known recipe is in The Forme of Cury, written around 1390 by the cooks of King Richard II. It mixes apples with figs, raisins, pears and saffron and bakes them in a pastry case called a coffin. Settlers later took apple pie to North America, where it became a national symbol.
