This wholemeal apple and hemp pie is a light and oil-free alternative, but very nutritious due to the addition of Greek yogurt and hemp flour.

Low in sugar, it is an ideal solution for children and adults, as well as a low-calorie snack or breakfast with a large dose of fruit.
A large slice contains about 200 calories.

** Hemp flour is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals, but has a slightly bitter taste. In the cake, it gives a rustic touch that goes well with apples. If you want to replace it, use buckwheat flour or brown millet flour, two other wholemeal flours rich in nutrients, from psuedo-cereals.

The result is an original and healthy reinterpretation of grandma’s traditional apple pie!

Vegan wholemeal apple and hemp cake

If, on the other hand, you want to make this cake without eggs or Greek yogurt, replace the Greek yogurt with two 125-gram jars of low-fat white soy yogurt, do not add water to the mixture and instead of eggs use 130 grams of ripe banana mashed with a fork + 2 tablespoons of coconut oil or other vegetable oil.

In this case, mash the banana with the oil until you get a viscous cream, add the two pots of soy yogurt and the fructose with the stevia.
Then start incorporating the flours as per the previous procedure and finally the apples. The calories are similar: 220 per serving.
