B-man :wink:

I love this time of year for the harvesting of apples, so many apple desserts to make. Apple pie is one of my favorites, but in this recipe I’d definitely use real sugar and skip the artificial sweeteners.

I think the recipe is great! I’m sure it’s tasty and healthy. I’ll try to cook it!

Golden delicious apples taste great if they are fresh and crisp. If they are woolly and of poor taste they have probably been in cold storage for too long and won’t make a tasty pie either.
