Two of the best pies ever made, pumpkin and apple pie, are both very delicious pies that are made during the fall season or anytime of the year. Which of these tasty pies would you want a nice slice of which you could indulge? For me my answer would be both! Why not? These pies are some of the best!
Both of these pies are also much better when they are homemade and freshly cooked in the oven that fills the kitchen and your house with that sweet, mouth-watering smell of pumpkin or apple pie. If you take a deep dive into the calories, the pumpkin pie wins on having lower calories, lower saturated fat, and both higher protein and calcium. But, the apple pie takes the cake when it comes to more fiber, lower sugar (both total and added), and lower sodium. If you’re watching the calories, go for the pumpkin pie as it almost always has fewer calories than apple because of the single crust.
Let’s start with apple pie. “It’s made from fruit, so it must be good for you… right? While apples are quite healthy-they’re loaded with fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants-coating them with sugar and dumping them in a buttery crust does change things a bit. Plus, apple pies normally come with double crusts”. Yum! However, this means more calories. “As for pumpkin pie, here we start with a vegetable. The pumpkin delivers fiber, and, like all orange foods, pumpkins are packed with carotenoids, which can help tackle free radicals and decrease inflammation. Of course, to turn that vegetable into a pie, we add sugar and a crust, so the pumpkin’s not quite as pure as it was in its original vegetable state” (https://nihca.org/apple-vs-pumpkin-pie/#:~:text=The%20pumpkin%20pie%20wins%20on,total%20and%20added).
Hopefully, by the time dessert comes around everyone will still have room for a slice of pie. And you can’t forget about the scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream to put on top of your slice of pie. There is no wrong answer to this question of what pie tastes better, because these two pies are some of the best pies out there. The dedication and pride that goes into making these pies delicious will make you crave them once you finish reading this. And If you are not a pie fan, you’re probably not interested in this article, but for all the pie lovers out there, enjoy them! If you’re still deciding whether or not to get up to go grab some pie, you should indulge in some. Go grab that slice of pie and enjoy it! You might regret it later, but they’re too amazing to pass up. Pies are just another amazing part of the upcoming holidays, which only come once a year, so eat up!
