Sugar-free Pecan Pie - Monthly recipe theme

The good news for me this month is that Pies are something I have posted previously and some of them are really good.

There was the awesome Pumpkin Pie Squares I posted in November 2018.

A Squash Gallette (which is a pie made with puff pastry or crepes) was posted on October 2018

I also posted a no meat Mincemeat in 2012.

So enjoy any of those Pies to make up for the ones I missed at the beginning of the month.  And for today, here is a sugar-free Pecan Pie.

Sugar Free Pecan Pie

1/3 cup of water

2/3 cup of granular fructose

2 packages of sugar free vanilla pudding - not instant

3/4 cup evaporated skim milk

2 large eggs

½ Tbls cinnamon (or BYP Cinnful Dessert Blend)

1 pie shell, 9-inch

1/4 cup of chopped pecans

1/2 cup of Grape Nuts cereal (Yes, they still make Grape Nuts, you can find it at Walmart!)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the water and fructose, and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Let the mixture cool.

Mix the dry pudding into the fructose mixture. Then add skim milk and eggs, stir until well blended. Pour the mixture into the pie shell.  Sprinkle the top with the Grape Nuts and pecans. Bake for 30 minutes.
