Two Recipes from Saturday
No Sugar Added Fresh Apple Cake
3 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup canola oil
2 cups Nature's Crystals sugar substitute (Splenda will NOT work)
1 1/4 cups low carb flour (I use almond flour)
1 1/4 cups self rising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large apples, cored and grated (I use Granny Smith and grate them in food processor)
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
1/4 cup I can't Believe its not Butter
1/2 cup Nature's Crystals Brown Sugar Substitute
1/3 cup skim milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pam or Baker's Secret a rectangular pan or bundt pan. Blend eggs, applesauce, oil and white Nature's Crystals until creamy. Mix baking powder, soda and salt into almond flour and then into self rising flour and add to batter a little at a time. Batter will be very stiff. Fold in apples and 1 cup nuts.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Let cool 30 minutes, then remove from pan if a bundt pan was used.
Topping:
Melt the I Can't Believe its not Butter, the brown sugar substitute, and the skim milk in a suacepan over high heat. Bring to boil for 2 minutes, add remaining nuts and boil another minute. Pour over cooled cake.

Sugar Free Bread Pudding
1 1/4 loaves french or Italian bread without seeds
6 eggs-room temperature
3/4 cup Natures Crystals (Splenda will NOT work)
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Tear bread into bite size pieces early in day and allow to sit in air stirring every once in a while so that all the bread gets dry. Spray Pam in a large rectangular pan. After bread has dried out, slowly pour milk over it until saturated. Add sugar substitute. Add eggs and mix with a spoon. It is important that the eggs are room temp and that you do not mix with a mixer. Once eggs are incorporated, pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. It will puff up like a souffle. While baking make sauce of your choice. Serve immediately.
Sauce
1/2 cup I can't Believe its not butter
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup Nature's Crystals Powdered sugar substitute
1 egg
Melt butters in saucepan, add sugar substitute and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Beat egg in another pan. While whisking egg, slowly add a little of the hot sauce to temper eggs and prevent them from scrambling, then return all to the pan and cook for another minute. For White Chocolate Sauce add 3 pumps of DaVinchi Sugar Free White Chocolate syrup. For Praline sauce add 2 pumps of DaVinchi Sugar Free Praline Syrup and 1 pump Davinchi Sugar Free Caramel Syrup and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

Remember this isn't something you can eat everyday. This is for a special occasion and send the remainder home with someone! I took my leftovers to my brother in Memphis!

Bobs,
You guys are good for a girl's ego! One of my 2 bff is a professional photographer. I stayed with her in Memphis while my brother had his angioplasty. She couldn't resist taking photos-she is so talented that she even made me look good. Maybe I can get her up here next year for the next low country boil and she can show us her stuff! If anyone is going to be in Memphis in the next few months, I have free 8x10 coupons!
