the flavor in this pie was wonderful, just because theres no sugar in it doesn`t mean your skimping on quality. I did add an extra 2 cups of apples for the second pie, because with only 6 cups, i felt like my apple pie was totally flat and waaay too liquady....also, only simmer your apples until they START to get tender, or else you`ll have mush. Great recipes overall, with the changes, i`ll be making more pies!

This is delicious--but the "no sugar added" title is a bit misleading, it's very sweet! It almost put my diabetic father in a coma, but the rest of the family loved it!

I'd love to give this 5 stars for not using butter in the filling, but while it was good for a healthier recipe, it didn't wow me. I used super sweet Fuji apples instead of Granny Smiths, and I'm glad I did because the pie was a bit tart even with the sweeter apples. FYI: the body metabolizes fructose (fruit sugar) the same way as sucrose (table sugar). So while BOTH INCREASE BLOOD SUGAR, fructose is generally preferred because they usually come along with good stuff like fiber and vitamins, while things made sugar are usually processed and lacking nutritional value (i.e., apples vs cake).

it was a little tart for me so i put a half cup of splenda sugar and the flavor balanced well.

The taste is fine, but this recipe is neither "no sugar" nor is it suitable for diabetics. The apple juice concentrate adds a tremendous amount of sugar to this recipe.

This was a great dessert. The whole family loved it. I'm a gastric bypass patient so I can't have suger. This is a perfect dessert also for diabetics.

I loved it! Since my Husband is diabetic, I had to make an alteration. I used sugar-free lemonade mix and more cornstarch to thicken it up

This was great. I thought the lack of sugar would affect the taste, but my husband, who is a sugar fiend, did not notice and loved it. Definitely a keeper.
