I made up this recipe for ME as I like pie too... I needed a sweet treat that was made with Splenda so I could have it, (not to mention how much I love cranberry and apple together...or by themselves). Make enough pastry dough for a double-crust pie. I used my Aunt Maxine's pie crust recipe (I've already posted in on JAP). I barely got to eat this because everyone in the fam wanted to 'try' it... right, it was gone in no time. If you try making it, I hope you enjoy it as much as we all did.

This apple pie recipe has so much flavor! I love the mix of apples and cranberry. The strawberry nectar and the extracts make this really delicious. Top with some ice cream and everyone will gobble this up.

- Fruit Fresh
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
3/4 cup Splenda
1/3 cup dried cranberries (plumped)
1/4 cup flour
1/3 cup Jumex Strawberry Nectar (diet)

How To Make cin's splendid apple-cranberry pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375. Place one pastry in bottom of a 10" round deep-dish pie plate.

Step 2

Peel, core and cut apples into chunks. Sprinkle with Fruit Fresh and squirt with lemon juice (to keep from turning brown); hand-toss to mix.
Step 3

Add Splenda, cranberries, Nectar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and extracts to apple chunks and hand-toss to mix.
Step 4

Pour the apple mixture into crust and dot with butter. Place top crust on, crimp edges, sprinkle some Splenda over top crust and place in oven on top of a cookie sheet or aluminum foil to catch drips (if any).
Step 5

Bake for 55 minutes. Cover edges of crust for the last 20 minutes of baking time, so the crust edges don't get too brown.
Step 6

Serve hot from the oven with vanilla ice cream (pie was also "splendid" served at room temperature).
