This is a delicious pie! I would love to give it more than 5 stars! I prepared this pie as a remake version for the Diabetic Cooking Challenge February 2008 using 1/2 cup of Splenda Brown Sugar Blend, 1/2 cup of Smuckers sugar free syrup, subbed 1 teaspoon of Maple flavoring and added 1 teaspoon corn meal for volume to the pie. Thanks Pie Queen for sharing this recipe! -
