3 large fugi apples
- Fruit Fresh
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
3/4 cup(s) Splenda
1/3 cup(s) dried cranberries (plumped)
1/4 cup(s) flour
1/3 cup(s) Jumex Strawberry Nectar (diet)
1 teaspoon(s) ground saigon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon(s) sea salt
1/8 teaspoon(s) freshly zested nutmeg
1 - capful each: rum, almond & butter extracts
- butter (to dot top of pie, before placing top crust on)
- pastry: make enough dough for a double-crust pie

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375. Place one pastry in bottom of a 10" round deep-dish pie plate.
Peel, core and cut apples into chunks. Sprinkle with Fruit Fresh and squirt with lemon juice (to keep from turning brown); hand-toss to mix.
Add Splenda, cranberries, Nectar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and extracts to apple chunks and hand-toss to mix.
Pour the apple mixture into crust and dot with butter. Place top crust on, crimp edges, sprinkle some Splenda over top crust and place in oven on top of a cookie sheet or aluminum foil to catch drips (if any).
Bake for 55 minutes. Cover edges of crust for the last 20 minutes of baking time, so the crust edges don't get too brown.
Serve hot from the oven with vanilla ice cream (pie was also "splendid" served at room temperature).
