With the holidays upon us, a lot of thoughts turn to assorted desserts and other goodies even more so than during the rest of the year. It’s the time that we’ll spend the most time at our (real or virtual) recipe bookshelves looking for just the right thing for the occasion.

One of the long time favorites is of course, Apple Pie, the only problem with it is that it’s the kind of thing that can easily be a problem for diabetics (or anyone that wants to watch their sugar intake). That’s what makes this diabetic friendly deep dish apple pie such a good item to have in your recipe file.

Combine your favorite sugar substitute equal to 1/3 cup of sugar with a tablespoon of cornstarch, a half teaspoon of grated lemon rind, 2 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and four small apples sliced. Place the mixture in a 9 inch deep dish pie plate on a baking dish and set it aside.

Combine a cup of all purpose flour (sift it first) and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cut in 1/4 cup of butter until mixture resembles cornmeal. Blend in 3 tablespoons of water with a fork until all of the dry ingredients are moistened. Shape the dough into a ball and roll it out on a floured surface and put it on top of the apple filling.

Bake at 425 degrees for 35 minutes or until it’s brown.
