MAPLE PECAN PIE WITH SPLENDA
Wonderful flavor with less calories! Crunchy, tasty pecans in a maple flavored filling. Great for a diabetic, those on a low sugar diet or for someone that just wants to watch their calories. Travels well to a potluck dinner. (I use Smuckers Sugar Free Syrup that is normally used for breakfast.)

Steps:
- For pie crust: Sift four and salt in a medium size bowl. Using a fork, blend butter and shortening into flour until it is a crumbly mixture. Add only enough cold water to mix into a dough form. Place dough in refrigerator for 10 minutes. Roll pastry out and place in a pie dish that has been dusted with cornflour.
- For filling: Melt butter and mix with beaten eggs, Spenda Brown Sugar Blend, sugar free syrup, maple extract and cornmeal. (Cornmeal helps the consistency of the pie.) Add pecans.
- Pour filling into pie crust. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in a 275 degree oven. Remove and let cool. Slice when pie is completely cooled. This is not a completely sugar-free pie -- The Splenda brown sugar blend and the sugar-free maple syrup only helps to reduce the calorie count.
- Enjoy!

SPLENDID SOUTHERN SPLENDA PECAN PIE
I never tell people this pie is made with Splenda, since most shy away from anything w/ low cal or no cal ingredients, thinking you jeopardize the flavor. Well, trust me, you'll never notice and your friends/family will never guess this isn't made w/ real sugar. And because this recipe uses Splenda, instead of traditional sugar,...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat pie crust lightly in flour, press and crimp into 9in pie pan, removing any extra dough. Set aside.
- 2. In small saucepan, melt butter. Do not let it brown. Whisk in light corn syrup and Splenda. Spray measuring cup w/ PAM to reduce stickiness. Mixture will be a little clumpy, even after whisking. That's normal, and won't effect the end product. Let cool slightly, then stir in eggs. Mix well. Stir in pecans.
- 3. Pour pecan mixture into pie shell. Poke around @ pecans til they are dispersed evenly. Bake 50-55 minutes. Start keeping an eye on the crust around 45 minutes. If it starts to get too dark, cover w/ aluminum foil. Let cool and serve.
PECAN BARS MADE WITH SPLENDA©
I used the advice from the Splenda© website to make these pecan bars as diabetic friendly as possible without sacrificing taste or texture. They were a HUGE hit both at home and at work and no one knew they were healthified! This recipe calls for whole wheat flour which also adds a nice nutty flavor to the crust. If you do not use whole wheat flour often, you can freeze it so it will keep longer.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F; butter and 8-inch square baking dish, then line it with two criss-crossed sheets of parchment paper and butter that.
- To make the crust, combine the ingredients in a food process and process until fine crumbs form; place crumbs in the prepared baking dish and press down evenly with your fingers (flour your fingers if the dough is too sticky).
- Bake just until the edges begin to brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Spread pecans out on a fimmed baking sheet and toast in oven, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 6 to 8 minutes; coarsely chop (or buy them already coarsely chopped and toast them the same way, heh heh heh).
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, honey, and cream; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until slighly thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in pecans and vanilla; spread over the baked crust and let cool in the pan for an hour.
- Once cooled, lift out of the pan using the parchment overhang, and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into 24 rectangles.
- NOTE: These bars will remain fresh for 5 days if stored at room temperature in an airtight container. They also freeze well and can be frozen before they are cut, if you like (just bring to room temperature to before cutting).
OLD-FASHIONED PECAN PIE
It's impossible to go wrong with pecan pie. Especially one that is really loaded with nuts, has a little verve from orange zest, and isn't overly sweet-exactly like the one here. Taking the time to track down new-crop pecans will push things right over the top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with a baking sheet on middle rack.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang under and lightly press against rim of pie plate, then crimp decoratively. Lightly prick bottom all over with a fork. Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes (or freeze 10 minutes).
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in corn syrup, vanilla, zest, and salt. Lightly beat eggs in a medium bowl, then whisk in corn syrup mixture.
- Put pecans in pie shell and pour corn syrup mixture evenly over them. Bake on hot baking sheet until filling is set, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool completely.
Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the final flavor of your pie. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh pecans.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Blind-bake the pie crust: This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy. To blind-bake the crust, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Use a variety of nuts: You can use all pecans, or you can add in other nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts.
- Don't overcook the pie: The pie is done when the center is set and the top is golden brown. Overcooking will make the pie dry and crumbly.
