A local seven-year-old cooked this no-sugar-added apple pie:

Deep Dish Double Crust Apple Pie

2 Large uncooked Pie Crusts, homemade or store bought
8-10 Large Red Apples
1 large can Frozen Apple Juice Concentrate, w/o added sugar. Probably the 16-oz size, so our SI friends should shoot for half a liter of concentrate.
1 tsp Cinnamon -- 5ml
2 tsp Cornstarch -- 5ml
1/8 cup water -- 45ml
Shortening to grease pie plate

Grease pie plate, put one crust in for bottom crust. Cut up apples.
Put apple juice concentrate and cinnamon in large saucepan, bring to boil.
Mix cornstarch and water in a cup, add to saucepan, reduce heat and stir until mixture of cornstarch, concentrate, and cinnamon has jelled. Then add apples, stir, and remove from heat.

Place apple and concentrate mixture in pie shell, cover with second pie crust, pinch crust edges together. Slit or prick top crust.

Bake at 400 deg F/220 C/Gas mark 9-10 for 45 minutes. (Anyone still use Gas Mark?) Cool before serving. No extra sugar -- fruit sugars are a mix of fructose and some sucrose, if this is important to your innards -- you just taste apples, sayeth deponent. This should work for any kind of apples you like for pie.

I haven't made an apple pie in I don't know how long. About three generations of coons.
