About This Recipe

While deciding what to bake for Thanksgiving I always ask the family what they want. Honey's favorite pie is apple so of course he asked for one. I looked at several apple pie recipes I had on hand but found this one at food.com and decided that I wanted to try it.

It was sugar free but NOT gluten free so I asked Honey to be honest and let me know what he thought. Obviously he bragged on it a lot because my Dad came in for a piece to see what Honey was talking about.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Splenda sugar substitute
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 5 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced
• 1 golden delicious apple, peeled and sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter, cut up
• 1 (15 ounce) packages of pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts

Directions

1. Prepare piecrusts according to package directions, fit 1 piecrust into 9 inch pie plate.
2. Stir together Splenda, flour cinnamon mixture.
3. Stir and coat apples with flour sugar mixture, pour into pie plate, dot with pieces of butter.
4. Place remaining pie crust on top, crimp edges and make slits in top crust or pierce evenly with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes.
6. Makes 8 servings.

So since going sugar free this will be our new apple pie recipe and maybe next time I'll use a gluten free pie crust and cornstarch in place of flour so I can try it.

I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving we sure did!

Crust-less Sweet Potato Pie

I love the crust-less coconut pie (recipe found HERE) and so when I saw this recipe I was excited about trying it. I think I'm a fan of crust-less pies because my gluten free pie crust are always so ugly. I do not make dessert except for special occasions so I guess I don't have enough practice.

It turned out great the problem is knowing when to stop eating!

2 eggs
1 cup cooked mashed  sweet potato (about 1 large sweet potato)
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup all purpose gf flour, sifted ( you can also substitute this for regular all purpose flour)
