Recipe Introduction


Peggy Hamilton, Cleveland, OH, requested a healthy pie that tasted something like taffy apple. All I can say is that this put a twinkle in the eye of everyone I asked to taste test it for me!
Serves 8





List of Ingredients



• 1 Pillsbury refrigerated unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  
• 4 cups (8 small) cored, peeled, and diced cooking apples
  
• 6 tablespoons purchased graham cracker crumbs or 6 (2 1/2-inch) graham crackers, made into crumbs*
  
• 3 tablespoons Smucker's Fat Free Caramel Syrup
  
• 1/2 cup granular Splenda
  
• 2 tablespoons (1/2 ounce) chopped pecans
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Flute edges. In a large bowl, combine apples and 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs. Stir in caramel syrup. Spread mixture evenly into pie crust. Bake for 20 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine remaining 4 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs, Splenda, and pecans. Sprinkle mixture evenly over top of partially baked pie. Lightly spray with butter-flavored cooking spray. Continue baking for 30 minutes. Place pie plate on a wire rack and allow to cool. Cut into 8 servings.
   






Final Comments


HINT: A self-seal sandwich bag works great for crushing graham crackers.
