A freshly baked homemade apple pie instantly becomes a comfort food and can cheer you up on a dull day! Traditionally the pastry is made of refined flour, contains dollops of butter and heaps of refined sugar. However, this recipe is the healthier version made using whole wheat flour and jaggery and yet turns out crusty and flavorful. This is a must-try recipe for the holidays!
