Happy day! An amazing SUGARLESS pie- just in time for the Thanksgiving feast! (Amazingly, it can be done! :) My friend brought this over for dessert and it won both my husband and I over. It is excellent. She added dried cranberries to the mix, and that was definitely my favorite part! It added texture, color, and a fun sweet/tart flavor that I loved! Oh- and did I mention the whole wheat crust? How cool it that?! My husband really liked it. Anyway- I was so happy she shared her fun recipe. (Don't you love her fun pie dish?) Hope you enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving!!! (And BIG THANKS Crystal!)

Oh, Lydia! This one is after my own heart!!! I can't WAIT to try it! Sugarless AND has whole wheat in the crust? Sounds like a winner! ;-D
And I miss you - just wanted to tell you that today!
I like your friend--a ww pie crust is the way to go. If I had my way, all flour would be whole wheat. :)
