Note: Not all diabetics can enjoy pie. If you have controlled blood sugar and you can hold yourself to one piece of pie, try this delicious pie for special occasions. You should only have one piece (a day), the rest is for your family and friends. And never eat dessert after a high carb meal!
2 tbsp unsalted butter
No-sugar-added pastry for a double crust pie
7 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, sliced
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1/2 cup Splenda Granulated
1/4 cup white whole-wheat flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt, optional (I suggest you omit)
Preheat oven to 400-degrees.
Very lightly butter a 9-inch deep dish pie pan; set aside.
Roll out half the pastry dough to fit into the prepared pie pan; fit into the pan. Press a piece of foil over the bottom and sides of the pie shell, fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and remove the weights and foil.
In a large bowl, combine the apples and lemon juice; mix well.
In a smaller bowl, combine the two Splenda products, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, if using. Sprinkle over the apples and toss to coat well. Spoon into the prebaked crust. Cut butter into small slices and place atop the pie filling.
Roll out remaining pastry dough and place atop the filling. Seal and crimp edges and cut slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush the top of the crust with a small amount of low-fat milk and sprinkle with a little Splenda Granulated, if desired.
Bake pie at 400 degrees for 10 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake another 35 minute or until golden brown.
Place a pie shield around the crust edges or cover edges with a ring of aluminum foil to prevent over browning.
Delicious with a small scoop of sugar-free ice cream.
Yield: 8 servings.
