I "borrowed" these first two recipes from Splenda, I have not tried them yet, I'm just attempting to de-clutter my desk a bit, it's getting crazy.

Creamy Cheesecake

Crust:
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumb
1/4 cup Splenda (granular)
3 tsp butter, melted
(Mix these ingredients together and press into a spring form pan.)

Filling:
1 lb. regular cream cheese
1 lb. fat free cream cheese
1 1/4 cups Splenda (granular)
1 1/2 Tbsp. lime juice
Pinch of salt
4 large eggs


Preheat oven to 350º F.

Beat cream cheese and Splenda until well mixed and smooth. Add lime juice and a pinch of salt, beat until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Pour filling over crust and bake 50-60 or until slightly firm to the touch. Let cool 15-20 minutes before placing in the refrigerator. Refrigerate 4-6 hours before serving.


Old Fashioned Apple Pie

9 inch double pie crust
1 cup Splenda (granular)
7 Cups baking apples, thin sliced and cored (about 7 medium apples)
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. salt


Prepare or purchase a double pie crust and set one crust into a 9 inch pie pan.
Preheat oven to 425º F.
Place sliced apples into a large bowl and set aside.
Combine Splenda, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt into a small bowl.
Sprinkle the mixture over apples and toss.
Spoon apple mixture into pie crust.
Place the second crust over the filling.
Seal edges, trim and flute. Make small openings in the top of the crust in your preferred pattern.
Bake in oven until top of the crust is golden brown (40-50 minutes)
Serve warm or chilled.


This next recipe I have flexed out in so many different ways and it always turns out the same way; amazing. I encourage you to try out different flours, different kinds of baking chips, different kinds of nuts. One of the richest combos that tasted so good and hearty; whole wheat flour, white chocolate chips and almonds.
Explore, get creative and enjoy!!

Banana Bread

1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 ripe bananas- mashed
1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Grease and flour bread pan. Preheat oven to 350º F.

Mix flour, baking soda, salt and sugar. Mix in slightly beaten eggs, melted butter and mashed bananas. Stir in nuts at this time if desired.

Bake for about an hour, when you touch it, it should spring back. (Usually it would be golden brown, but with whole wheat flour, it will be darker.)
