Vanilla Apple Pie

PP=4   makes 6 servings
The pie on the left is Vanilla Blackberry, on the right Vanilla Apple.  The fat/sugar free instant vanilla pudding is what makes this recipe.  It manages to bind and thicken while making it seem as if your dessert is already "a la mode"!

Grands Large Reduced Fat Flaky Biscuits
1 large box of Sugar/Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding mix
2 packets of Truvia or Splenda
0 pt Butter Flavored Cooking Spray
Cinnamon
Country Crock Light  (or any margarine that is 1pt per Tbs)
7-8 red apples (grannies are too acidic for this for some reason), pealed and sliced thinly


Spray 6 oven safe bowls with cooking spray. 

Carefully tear biscuits into 4 equal layers and line the bottom of each bowl with one layer. 

Fill all 6 bowls 1/2 full of fruit and then sprinkle 1/2  of the pudding mix and  1 pk of Truvia/Splenda over all 6 evenly.

Repeat the last step once more.

Add 1 tbs of margarine to the top of each pie and then one more 1/4 biscuit.  Lightly spray "top crust" with butter flavored margarine and bake at 350 until the top crust has browned.

Remove and cover each pie tightly with foil, return to the oven for about 30 more minutes or until the apples are soft and bubbling.

*To make blackberry use fresh or frozen berries and omit the cinnamon.
