Anyone with knowledge on options for low sugar/no sugar added/sugar-free pies?

replaces the sugar with splenda

Just use splenda to make the filling instead of sugar, and avoid buying filling in a can. The crust has a lot of calories, too. Try to buy a crust that is whole wheat. I make pies every so often and following those rules, my blood sugar stays in check.

This is actually the one I use, you can replace the sugars with Splenda here too.

add some vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg to the sauce and mix the apples with the still hot sauce before putting into pie dish. Save some sauce to brush over the top crust and bake per instructions

BEST. PIE. EVER.

While an avid chef...Bake I do not. I seemingly screw everything up. LOL

But, I can try

Any back-up thoughts?
Oh, let me add, someone else is already bringing a pumpkin pie.

Hmmmm...what about a banana cream or key lime...

Remember if the concern is Diabetes, while lower calories/fat are great, it still comes down to carb count, not just amount of sugar. therefore fruits and crusts are going to have a high(er) carb count. there are numerous crustless pie recipes out there around on the low carb sites, Paleo sites are going to have other variations.

I just posted this for a low cal request, but it's pretty low sugar as well:

While I find it sinful to want low cal pumpkin pie for Thankgiving, here is a version that I have actually made in the past for other calorie conscious friends and it's not bad. Even my hubby liked it despite the lower cal alterations.

Ingredients:
For Crust
2 cups Fiber One Honey Squares
¼ cup Country Crock with Calcium and Vitamin D
2 tbsp Water

For Filling
One 15 oz can Libby’s pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
One 12 oz can Carnation evaporated 2% Low Fat milk
¾ cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
½ cup 100% All Whites Egg Whites
¼ cup Maple Grove Farms sugar-free maple syrup
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp sea salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a pie pan lightly with nonstick spray and set aside.

Place cereal in a blender or food processor, and grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine butter with 2 tbsp. water. Microwave until just melted. Add to the medium bowl and stir contents until thoroughly mixed.

Evenly distribute crust mixture along the bottom of the pie pan, using your hands or a flat utensil to firmly press and form the crust. Press it into the edges and up along the sides of the pan.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the filling. Mix well. Pour mixture into pie crust. (Filling may be taller than the crust, this is okay)

Bake pie in the oven for 45 minutes, and then remove it and allow to cool.

Chill in the fridge for several hours (for best results, chill overnight). Cut into 8 slices

Oops, sorry, just saw your post that someone else is bringing pumpkin.

Well, I'll leave my post in case anyone else wants it.
