*This is NOT Core, but it's very tasty, and not bad for you at all.

Easy Pear Crisp

Recipe By : Splenda Cookbook
Serving Size : 6


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup Splenda -- divided
3 graham crackers
1/4 cup light butter
4 tablespoons flour -- divided
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon -- divided
3 cups Bartlett pears -- peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons water

Preheat oven to 350. Spray 8X8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Place 1/4 cup Splenda, graham crackers, light butter, 2 T. flour and 1 t. cinnamon in bowl of food

processor. Blend till crumbly.

Toss remaining Splenda, cinnamon, flour, pears, lemon juice, and water till fruit is evenly coated. Place

in prepared baking pan. Cover with crumb topping.

Bake 40-45 min or till bubbling around edges. Serve warm.

This is delicious with many kinds of fruit. I've had it with peaches/raspberries, and it was very good.

This came from BCB core board. I used my 8 section mini cake pan and it took 20 minutes. I tried a little piece out of the oven, and it's very good. I used one cup oatmeal and one cup oat bran.

"CHOCOLATE CAKE"
Servings: 8

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (I use a small toaster/convection oven.)

Line an 8X8" pan with Reynold's Non-Stick aluminum foil or spray with non-stick spray.

In one bowl, stir:

2 Cups oat bran
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder (Rumford, aluminum-free, is good)
1 tsp. baking soda
Package of chocolate pudding mix, small (I used regular, but use FF/SF for all-CORE)
1/4 Cup of cocoa, unsweetened
3 Splenda packets
Pinch of salt

In another bowl, mix:

3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Cup FF milk
1/2 C. applesauce, unsweetened (I use a 4 oz. pre-portioned container)
1 TBS. instant espresso coffee crystals

Add liquid bowl into dry bowl, mix quickly and pour into pan; put pan into oven for 25 minutes (or until sides of cake have pulled away from pan; cracks may appear on top). COOL.

I'm not sure where Niki (MattandGabby'sMom) got this recipe from but I tried it and it's pretty darned good. It doesn't really have cake texture. It's more like a dense bread pudding consistency. I LOVE bread pudding. Next time I make it, I'm going to use butterscotch pudding instead of vanilla because I think it will give it kind of a caramel apple kind of a flavor. I'll also skip the fake struesel on top. It was try and yucky. Enjoy!

Core Apple Almost Cake

3 cup uncooked oatmeal
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (I used a 3 1/2 oz Motts little cup)
2 cups FF skim milk
3/4 cup Splenda
2 large ripe bananas (mashed)
1 small box SF/FF instant vanilla pudding & pie filling mix
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
4 medium apples (peeled and diced)
2 eggs

TOPPING

1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
4 tsp McNeil Nutritionals SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener
1 t. apple pie spice (I couldn't find this so I just used cinnamon)

Instructions


Mix applesauce, eggs and splenda. Add the remaining ingredients
except the apples. Fold the diced apples in. Let the mixture set for about 15 minutes so the oatmeal can soften. Put in a 9x13 pan, sprayed with Pam spray. Sprinkle topping over top of cake. Spray with Pam butter spray.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cook for 40-45 minutes, or until center is completely cooked.

CORE PIE CRUSTS

(BCB)

I have made this one many times before, and it is quite good. You may need to adjust the amount of oat bran depending on the size of your pie plate, adding more egg whites if necessary.

3/4 cup oat bran, dry
2 tbsp healthy oil
egg whites
sweetener, optional

Combine oat bran and oil (and sweetener if desired) in a bowl, drizzling egg whites into the mixture until crumbly but slightly sticky. Once the paste is malleable, press into a sprayed pie plate, wetting your fingers with water to prevent sticking. Pre-bake for 5-10 minutes before filling.

core granola + diced dates + a handful of fructose + just enough yogurt to make it all stick together

makes an AWESOME fantabulous, chewy and substantial crust.

I like this recipe because it's so simple to make and very creamy. I used strawberry jello and skipped the graham cracker crumbs to eliminate some calories. But then I added the calories back in because I topped with homemade strawberry syrup!

i think you could use all ff ingredients.

here's another idea for dream pies: (from kraft)

Jazz It Up

If using JELL-O Chocolate, Chocolate Fudge or Pistachio Flavor Pudding & Pie Filling, add 1/2 tsp. almond extract, 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract or 1 Tbsp. MAXWELL HOUSE Instant Coffee to the whipped topping mixture with the milk and dry pudding mixes.

i looked and looked today to see if i could find a recipe similar to the 1 pt brownies made with all bran cereal/brownie mix. i never found anything so i decided to experiment. here's what i came up with--and it's wonderful!!! just be careful cuz it's loaded with fiber.

ALL BRAN SURPRISE CAKE (ALMOST CORE)

1 Yellow Cake Mix
3 cups Original All Bran Cereal
2 1/2 cups Water
3 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 cup Applesauce
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup Splenda Blend Brown Sugar
1 chopped Apple

Preheat oven 350*. Spray a large baking pan (I used the broiler pan.).

Stir cereal and water in a large bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Stir dry cake mix and baking powder into cereal mixture. Let sit for 3 minutes.
Stir in applesauce, raisins, Splenda Blend Brown Sugar, and chopped apple.
Spread evenly into baking dish.
Bake @ 350* for 30 minutes or until done.

I live in high altitude so I had to bake mine longer. Just keep an eye on yours.

24 servings = 2 pts each
I cut mine into 32 servings.

I think I know what the surprise is....

Just kidding! It looks really great. And you came up with this all on your own? I'm so impressed!
