I was absolutely delighted to find the "Apple Pie with Oatmeal Cookie Crust"
in the compilation digest I just received! :-) I've been looking for an
acceptable crust for pies, and this sure sounds like something I can hardly
wait to try. In fact, I'm on my way to the kitchen as soon as I get this
post sent! lol
Since I also try to avoid simple sugars as much as fat, I think I'll try
substituting part if not all of the sugar with Splenda. It will definitely
work with the filling, but I might need some sugar to make the crust work out
properly.
For those interested in the details, I did a quick nutrition analysis for
calories and fat. In a 10 serving pie, the calories are around 307 per
serving, with one point one grams of fat. Dropping a great deal of the sugar
should make bring it well down into the 200's which fits in better with
watching my weight. I'm always looking for the satisfying dessert that
doesn't sabotage the waist line, and the recipe archives of this list have
provided Many such delights. :-)
