- 3 whole Eggs (If vegan, consider substituting with flax eggs.)
- 2 tsp Baking Powder (Make sure it’s fresh for optimal rise.)
- 1 tbsp Instant Vanilla Pudding (Vanilla protein powder can also work.)
- 0.75 cup Oil (Melted butter can be a flavorful substitute.)
- 0.33 cup Milk (Opt for dairy-free milk or yogurt if needed.)
- 2 whole Apples (blended) (Granny Smith or Gala apples are recommended.)
- 3 whole Apples (sliced) (These add texture to the pie.)
- 1 tsp Cinnamon (You may substitute or add nutmeg for a different twist.)
- 1 cup Sugar (This creates a glossy topping.)

- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the pie is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the pie is still warm, melt the butter and mix it with 1 cup of sugar until glossy, then drizzle it over the top of the pie for a caramel effect.
- Allow the pie to cool before slicing and serving.
