I'm a diabetic and I have a concern with the amount of sugar I'm finding in this recipe. It really seems to defeat the purpose of limiting the amount of carbohydrates I consume as a diabetic. Why is there so much sugar? I'm seeing in other recipes that are loaded with sugar mixed with sugar(brown sugar), why? Dietitian comment: I'm not sure if this recipe would work with a low carb sweetener but you could try it using stevia or Splenda. Another option is to have only 1 teaspoon instead of a tablespoon so carbs are decreased to 2.7 g instead of 8 g per serving. To find lowest carb recipes you can use the sort feature on the Recipe search page to display recipes from lowest to highest carb content.

I love apple butter! Can I substitute Splenda for the two cups of sugar? Dietitian comment: I'm not sure if the consistency will be the same but it's worth trying.

Why doesn't the nutrition values show up on printed page? Dietitian comment: I printed the recipe and the nutrients were included. Perhaps try again?
