I have never made a pie before, I make cakes. A friend of my husband's is diabetic and asked if I could make an an apple pie with Spelnda. I found this recipe and figured it was worth a try. He loved it!! I made another one for my parents, though I didn't tell them that it was made with Splenda. They loved it as well and could not tell that it was made with Spelnda. I used Macintosh apples both times and they baked perfectly, not too soft and not too crisp. Thanks for posting such a great recipe! -
Fantastic! My diabetic husband and I give it 5 stars!!! Made exactly as written and it turned our delish!!!! -
I've made this recipe dozens of times for my diabetic FIL. He just loves it and so do we. Sometimes I add some additional spices - but just in tiny bits. It is really a great recipe for anyone who needs a low-sugar dessert. Thanks for submitting it kburie! I'd lost the recipe and was so glad you posted it. Thanks!!! -
I made this for my husband to take to work. It went so quickly, he didn't even get a piece. They kept raving about it and couldn't believe it was home made. They definitely couldn't believe there was splenda in it. I can't wait to make another one for my husband and myself to try. -
I added this to our Thanksgiving day menu for my diabetic DH, but since both DDs were whining about it, I did cut the Splenda down to 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Because I did changed the recipe, I won't give it any stars, but it was fantastic! It still had the slightly tart tast of the Granny Smith apples I used, but at the same time it was also sweet. Everyone LOVED this. Thanks kburie for posting.

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
