I think the one that I used to use was in the old Betty Crocker cookbook from the 40's. But I found this one online. It uses the least amount of apple juice concentrate & no cornstarch of the ones I found. It uses tapioca instead. I'm not sure what the composition of the tapioca is as far as sugar/carbs.

When I was a small-town housewife & doing a lot of baking, I would use about 1/4-1/3 the amount of sugar called for in a pie recipe. The result would be a much better tasting pie, IMO. The flavor of the fruit would be much more intense without all the sugar.
But my heritage is Norwegian, & we use lots of butter in our baking, but not a whole lot of sugar. I got used to baked goods that weren't all that sweet & I like them that way still.
Thanks! I will certainly try it. 
Tapioca in apple pie certainly sounds interesting. And of course after buying the tapioca and the fact there will be left over tapioca means that I will just have to take one for the team and make tapioca pudding. It will be rough, but I think that I will be able to overcome the challenge.

Yanno, I've heard people talking about the aftertaste in Splenda, but I've never tasted any.
It may well be something that some people notice and some people don't. I don't eat much red meat because I can taste the iron in it.

Of course, I've been using the pink and blue stuff for so long that maybe I'm just used to it.
I have used the pink stuff for years as well. About 25 years, actually. But you just cannot bake with it. Well, I supposed that YOU can, but I cannot. I may just be so used to the taste of it that it does not register.

And as far as the taste of my cookies...well, I've never had any problems with leftovers! I'd bake 'em up and take them to work, and no one knew it wasn't real sugar until I mentioned that I used the Splenda.
I would be more than happy to try your cookies. And yes, I have had that surreal experience of someone eating and enjoying something they claimed would just be 'yucky.'
My favorite story about that is the friend who INSISTED that HE would not eat ground turkey. It was horrible, nasty icky, stuff. He continued to declaim this on this third bowl of chili made with ground turkey. Or having people praise my s'ghetti made with a meat substitute when they have been adamant that they are 'meat and tater' kind of person.
I have never been sure if I should say something in those moments.

Damn, now I really want some apple pie! Linnea, here's a proposition for ya...I'll trade you a warm apple pie for a kitten of your choice! Deal?
I have the apples. You are welcome to come make a pie (and the ingredients for pie crust). And eat the whole thing. The other half will be sad if you eat the whole thing in front of him, but he would get over it. And I even have kitchen help. Butterhead is FANTASTIC at stirring things.
I mentioned before though, you just can't ship pies.
