<br><br>BITE IT!
<br><br>HG's Awesome Apple Pie-lets
<br><br>	
<br><br>Pie Baby!  
<br><br>Not only are these pockets of hot, gooey fruit delicious and guilt-free, but 
<br><br>they're also GREAT pre-portioned desserts for holiday get-togethers. YUM!
<br><br>
<br><br>Ingredients:
<br><br>1 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
<br><br>1 tbsp. granulated sugar
<br><br>2 tsp. cornstarch
<br><br>1 tsp. cinnamon
<br><br>1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
<br><br>1/8 tsp. salt
<br><br>3 cups peeled and chopped apples (preferably Fuji)
<br><br>6 large square egg roll wrappers (found in the refrigerated section of the 
<br><br>supermarket with the other Asian items)
<br><br>18 sprays I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Spray (in other words, have a 
<br><br>bottle handy!)
<br><br>
<br><br>Directions:
<br><br>Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
<br><br>
<br><br>In a medium unheated pot, combine Splenda, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, 
<br><br>vanilla extract, and salt with 1/2 cup cold water. Mix until the ingredients 
<br><br>dissolve. Add apples and stir. Bring to medium-high heat on the stove and, 
<br><br>stirring frequently, cook for 7 - 10 minutes, until apples are softened. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Remove the pot from heat and very lightly mash the apples in the pot with a 
<br><br>potato masher or a spatula. (You don't want applesauce. It should remain 
<br><br>chunky.) Return to low heat on the stove, and cook for 1 - 2 additional 
<br><br>minutes, stirring often, until the mixture is thick and gooey. Remove from 
<br><br>heat and set aside. This is your pie filling.
<br><br>
<br><br>Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with foil and/or spraying it with 
<br><br>nonstick spray. Set aside.
<br><br>
<br><br>Lay two egg roll wrappers flat on a dry surface. Set out a small dish of water. 
<br><br>Dip your finger into the water, and run it along all of the wrapper edges. 
<br><br>(Repeat as needed while preparing your pockets, as it will help seal them.) 
<br><br>Starting 1/2 inch from the bottom, place about 1/3 cup pie filling along the 
<br><br>bottom half of each wrapper, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the sides. Fold the 
<br><br>top half of each wrapper over the filling, so that the top edge meets the 
<br><br>bottom and the filling is encased with a border on three sides. Dab each 
<br><br>border with water, and fold each inward about 1/4 inch to lightly seal. Press 
<br><br>firmly along the borders with the prongs of a fork to seal completely. 
<br><br>Carefully transfer to the baking sheet. Spray the top of each pocket with 3 
<br><br>sprays of butter. Repeat this process twice with remaining wrappers and 
<br><br>filling, leaving you with 6 pie-lets.
<br><br>
<br><br>Bake in the oven for 15 - 18 minutes, until edges begin to brown. Allow to 
<br><br>cool for 5 minutes before digging in!

<br><br>McDonald's Baked Hot Apple Pie  	
<br><br>	
<br><br>Big Apple 		
<br><br>Back in 1992, McD's made the official changeover from fried apple pies to 
<br><br>baked ones. (It seems like only yesterday, we know.) While we commend 
<br><br>them for having acknowledged that baking pies is a much more civilized and 
<br><br>health-conscious approach than deep-frying them, each little plank of pie still 
<br><br>has disappointing stats. ESPECIALLY considering a) how small it is, and b) 
<br><br>how much lower in fat and calories it COULD be. Come on... 250 calories and 
<br><br>13g fat for that itty-bitty thing? Nuh-uh. Not worth it. Our version takes full 
<br><br>advantage of the ever-magical egg roll wrapper as well as our friend the Fuji. 
<br><br>The result is a delicious, guilt-free swap for that fatty little hand-held pie -- 
<br><br>one that satisfies cravings for junk food AND seasonal dessert without 
<br><br>costing you a fistful of calories. Never trust a clown to do a Hungry Girl's 
<br><br>job.
