You may not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes irish apple pie but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat irish apple pie or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 2000 calories per day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – without going crazy of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have just been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

I also feel it is helpful if you have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Irish Apple Pie

Posted by Olga at recipegoldmine.com 2004/3/1 08:40

A delicious apple dessert from Ireland. The pastry is not as firm as regular pastry. Be sure to GREASE the pie pan.

Pastry
2 cups hot mashed potato
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Filling
4 cups thinly sliced apples
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Topping
1 teaspoon melted butter or margarine
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine potato, butter, cinnamon, ginger and brown sugar. Mix well. Blend in flour. Reserve 3/4 cup for top of the pie.

On a sheet of wax paper or, better still, parchment paper, pat the remaining dough into a circle slightly larger than a 9-inch pie plate. Place a well-greased pie plate over dough. Lift and invert the dough into the pan. Remove wax paper. Arrange apple slices of potato mixture. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Pat remaining 3/4 cup of potato mixture onto a 9-inch circle of wax paper. Invert over filled pie. Peel off paper, crimp and seal edges of dough around pie. Cut a vent in the center of the pie. Bake 45 to 50 minutes.

Brush top with 1 teaspoon melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar a few minutes before removing from oven.

Serve hot with whipped cream.

Serves 6.
