I’ve baked this pie a few times. The best pie was my most recent by cutting down the Splenda to 3/4 cup, 3 tablespoons of cornstarch instead of flour, frozen blueberries, no butter and allspice. It is so delicious and easy. Enjoy!

I would suggest using tapioca instead of flour for thickener. And monk fruit or erythritol for sweetener.

I've made this recipe several times but after the 1st, I realized I didn't like the taste of all that splenda. Even though I'm diabetic, I switched to 1 cup of splenda and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. I also found that if you use frozen berries, you should increase flour to 6 tbsp to absorb all the water.

I made this using a powdered stevia/erythritol blend. I used frozen wild Blueberries-not thawed.....came out great! Tasted amazing!

This was terrible. All I can taste is the hollow metallic flavor of Splenda. 15 minutes later I'm still tasting it!
