The issue I found with Splenda's recipe is that they recommend using 1 prepared double pie crusts, but when I went shopping for my ingredients I found that all of the prepared crusts have a ton of sugar in them! Way too much for diabetics! I also felt the recipe calls for way to much apple, I usually had to throw some away because I couldn't fit anymore inside. So here is the recipe and my recommendations.
1 package of Betty Crocker's pie crust mix- 2 envelopes of mix inside.
6 cups of baking apple slices, peeled and cored (for those who don't know, its green apples)
1 cup of Splenda
3 tbsp of cornstarch
3/4 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 tsp of nutmeg
1/8 tsp of salt
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place one pie crust inside a 9" pie tin.
Place apples into a large bowl and set aside. Mix splenda, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt all together in a second bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples and toss to coat. Pour the apples into the pie tin. Place the second pie crust on top, sealing the sides closed. Make a small opening on top of the pie crust with a sharp knife.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top is a golden brown. Serve cool. I like to serve with sugar free cool whip or sugar free vanilla ice cream! Yum!
