Iris....I just had to let you know my husband and I just completed the elimination diet and during it I made this pie twice....the first time I used quinoa instead of rice because that's what we had for dinner...didn't turn out so good (tasted OK, but fell apart)...however, I made the second one exactly as you suggested and it was terrific! I think it is far better than a wheat crust! I used butternut squash that I had seasoned with cinnamon, so the crust was really really good! Thank you so much! So far my favorite gluten free dessert!

I'm sorry you didn't like it... I made it while I was on the elimination diet, so it's quite different from a typical apple pie. I had very few ingredient options, so I had to get creative. Nonetheless, I love anything with baked apples and sweet potatoes, but if you were expecting something that tastes more traditional, I can see why you would have been disappointed.

Well...I tried making this with the sweet potato c...

Well...I tried making this with the sweet potato crust and I don't know if something was amiss but I followed the directions exactly and well, I was so sad, it didn't taste very good at all. I was so excited to try it because it looks so awesome! It was definitely creative and fun to make! Kelty

Hi Kelty, You could use any kind of sweetener. Honey, maple syrup, brown rice syrup. Or just leave the sweetener out since apples are so sweet anyway. Is agave nectar worse than high fructose corn syrup? I've heard conflicting opinions on that, so I can't say definitively. I use it occasionally, but I've been using it less and less. Stevia is definitely my sweetener of choice lately. But again, baked apples are so sweet, you could just leave the plum/agave out.

Oh, here's a post on the agave nectar debate that might interest you:

Hi! I know you already listed one substitution for the red plum (agave) but is there by chance any other?? Is Megan's comment true about agave being worse than high fructose corn syrup?? I really want to try this pie but couldn't find plums at the store, maybe out of season? Thanks, Kelty

This looks like a really yummy recipe, we are always looking for sugar free! You should read up on agave nectar, it is the worse than eating high fructose corn syrup because it is all fructose. A great book that explains in more detail is "Suicide By Sugar" by Nancy Appleton. Great book!!

2010-02-04T08:50:27.185-05:00

I eat tons of lemons and cinnamon with no symptoms, but I can get a headache from very small amounts of agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup. Before you give up on two fantastically healthful and flavorful foods, try eliminating all three - cinnamon, lemon, agave - and then just reintroducing agave.

2010-02-03T23:08:11.574-05:00

WOW! Both pies look amazing. My sister and I have been watching our sugar lately too. The only fruit we eat is grapefruit and granny smith apples because they have the least amount of sugars, oh and occasionally berries. But we love our stevia!!

That looks amazing. You really can get creative when you're forced to. I would love to try this. Thanks for the recipe.

Hi Iris -

In answer to the lemon dilemma from your comment on my blog...

You know, I've never made the connection between the tiredness and the headache as being seperate before - I think because when I get the headache, all I want to do is sleep anyway, so the one goes hand-in-hand for me with the other.

P.S. If you're sensitive to lemons, good chance you'll have the same side-effects with other citrus fruits, and even some exotic acid fruits like pineapple/strawberries/kiwi too. It sucks, but it's better to know then suffer the effects.

Good question, Hallie. I think they were gala but am not positive. I'm not good about knowing which apples are baking apples, so I just buy red ones.

2010-02-02T10:36:54.361-05:00

Iris, this looks great! I'm looking forward to trying it soon! One question: what kind of apples did you use?

Cool crust ideas! These sound scrumptious!

Aubree - Who are you kidding? I've seen your blog! You've got wonderfully creative recipes!

Juanit - I was so surprised that lemons could do that, but I'm adding them in today, so I'll find out.

Alea - Good luck, and I'll be reading your blog to see how everything goes for you.

Amazing, Iris! You are doing such a great job and these pies are really beautiful. I'm glad you are homing in on some of your food issues. It's something we probably all should do to achieve optimum health. Thanks so much for sharing your journey and recipes with us!

P.S. My money is on the lemons for headaches - they do exactly the same to me.

I am so excited to try this recipe! This month I am eliminating a lot of things from my diet and was kind of feeling sorry for myself. Your recipe reminded me that I just need to get a little more creative! I will make extra basmati rice on Sunday night so I have enough leftover to make this pie on Monday.

What a cool recipe! I wish I had your creative min...

2010-02-01T09:50:08.976-05:00

What a cool recipe! I wish I had your creative mind! I know I'd eat a lot better if I did. I'm saving this one to try for sure :)
