Helpful hints

• Lower carbohydrate options for diabetics include using Splenda® Brown Sugar Blend instead of brown sugar, and using apricot fruit spread instead of jam.
• Sodium content of pre-made pie crust varies with brands. Select the brand with lowest sodium content or consider making homemade pie crust with reduced salt.
