- 1 cup fat-free whipped topping

- Thicken the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water until dissolved.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the apples.
- Stir continuously until the mixture thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Allow the apple mixture to cool slightly, then pour it into the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill the Pie:
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
