Apple pie is a classic American dessert that is beloved by many. This recipe is a twist on the traditional version, with a whole wheat crust and a touch of lemon juice in the filling to brighten the flavors. The crust is made with vegetable oil instead of butter, making it a slightly healthier option. Serve this pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate comfort food experience.

6.Spoon the apple mixture into the prepared crust.
7.Dot the top of the filling with butter.
8.Roll out the remaining dough and place it on top of the apples. Trim the edges and crimp to seal.
