“This is a sugar free fruit pie that is very good. I've served it before and no one guessed it was sugar free. You can use any kind of fruit you like. Apples, cherries or peaches work best.” - by Debbie

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
1 tablespoon butter
20 packets aspartame sweetener
4 apples - peeled, cored and diced
