Sugar Free Apple Pie
"This is the vest!! Found this recipe 26 years ago. It was first dessert I made after becoming a Type 1 diabetic. The secret is using apple juice as the sweetener. Equals 1 1/2 fruit exchanges, 1 bread exchange and 2 fat exchanges"

Cooking is what I do. I love looking for new recipes. I have three daughters, the last one left for college this year. Being a military family gives us the opportunity to try a variety of cuisine's from all over the world. I learned to cook from watching my father while I was growing up and have loved cooking as long as I can remember. A big thank you to everyone for this wonderful site.
