Apple Pie (Individual Size or Tart) (1 Serving (120g))

Choose a smaller portion—such as half an individual tart—and eat it slowly rather than finishing it quickly.

Have the pie after a balanced meal containing protein and non-starchy vegetables, rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair it with a small serving of plain Greek yogurt or a handful of almonds to slow carbohydrate absorption.

Skip sweet drinks, ice cream, whipped topping, and other sugary sides; choose water, unsweetened tea, or coffee instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.

When possible, choose or make a version with a whole-grain crust, more apple filling, less added sugar, and no sugary glaze.
