A Fun Mini Apple Pie Recipe

Lately I've been obsessed with mini everything: bite size cookies, mini cupcakes, mini houses - even my office supplies are starting to come in micro sizes! Normally I would say it's getting out of hand but really I'm loving it.

So of course when I was tasked with creating a little something delicious for my family while we binge the Big Movie Awards this season my mind instantly went to something mini.

Especially when it comes to dessert, I love that everyone can have their own perfectly portion bit of deliciousness. I decided to go with Mini Apple pies for a few reasons...

They're so easy and fresh apples are available year round. This particular pie filling is my absolute favorite recipe because it taste really fresh with just the right amount of lemon juice to give it a bit of zest and it doesn't get any more simple than throwing it all in a bowl and giving it a good mix.

For me, it's really important to limit my families sugar intake. These days it feels like there are copious amounts of sugar in everything.

So for this recipe I swapped out the sugar for SPLENDA® Sweetener Products.

Swapping sugar for SPLENDA® Sweetener Products is so simple, basically, it swaps cup for cup so there are no tricky grade school fractions to try and balance.

The great thing is, no one could even tell that it was made with SPLENDA® Sweetener Products instead of 'real' sugar.

You can find SPLENDA® Sweetener Products in a variety of shapes and sizes, so they're perfect for all of your needs! Whether it's a big bag of granulated SPLENDA® Sweetener and SPLENDA® Sugar Blend and Brown Sugar Blend for your baking uses, or single serving packets for sweetening coffees and teas - you're bound to have the perfect option on hand!
