How many calories are in a slice of apple pie?

The usual restaurant slice, an eighth of a 9 inch pie at 125g, is 296 calories. A sixth of a smaller 8 inch pie is 117g and 277. Per 100g, commercially prepared apple pie is 237 calories.

How much sugar is in apple pie?

15.7g of sugar per 100g, which is 19.6g in a standard slice, or close to five teaspoons. Chocolate cake is far sweeter at 40g of sugar per 100g, and a donut sits at 22.8g of sugar per 100g. Most of the sugar in a pie is added to the filling rather than coming from the fruit.

Is apple pie one of the lighter desserts?

By weight, yes. Apple pie is 237 calories per 100g while chocolate cake is 389 and a brownie is 405. The catch is portion size: a pie slice is a big piece of food, so 296 calories a slice lands near where a smaller piece of a richer cake would.

Does the apple filling count as fruit?

Barely. There is 1.6g of fiber per 100g in the finished pie, about 2g in a slice, while an apple on its own carries 2.4g of fiber per 100g and no crust. The 3.2mg of vitamin C per 100g is the other trace of the fruit that survives baking.

Is apple pie ok for diabetics?

It is a lot of fast carbohydrate in one sitting. A slice carries 40.5g of net carbs, since the pie is 32.4g of net carbs per 100g, and there is very little fiber or protein to slow it. If you want a piece, a half slice after a meal with protein in it behaves very differently from a whole one on its own.

It depends entirely on the crust, so read the label. The commercially prepared pie measured here has 0mg of cholesterol per 100g, which points to a vegetable shortening crust rather than butter or lard. A butter crust or an egg wash makes the same pie neither vegan nor dairy free.

Is homemade apple pie different from store-bought?

A little richer, usually. USDA measures a from-scratch pie as its own item and it runs higher per gram, mostly because home bakers use butter where a factory uses shortening and cut the slices larger. The figures on this page are the commercial enriched-flour pie.

How much does a scoop of ice cream add?

A half cup scoop of vanilla ice cream is 155 calories, so pie a la mode is 451 rather than 296. Whipped cream is cheaper: a quarter cup adds 39. Neither changes the pie itself, but the a la mode version is half again as big.

What is the crust doing to the numbers?

Most of the damage. There are 11g of fat per 100g in the pie and almost none of it came from the apples, which have essentially none. That is where 3.8g of saturated fat per 100g and 201mg of sodium per 100g come from too. A single crust or a crumb top costs meaningfully less than a double crust.
