Maple Pecan Pie With Splenda

Total Time: 1 hr 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 10 mins

Ingredients

• 12 ounces plain flour
• 3 ounces vegetable shortening
• 3 ounces butter, softened
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces butter
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup splenda brown sugar blend
• 1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon maple extract
• 1 teaspoon cornmeal
• 6 ounces pecans, broken

Recipe

• 1 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.
• 2 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.
• 3 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.
