Jeanine'S Sugar-Free Mincemeat Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups apples (4 medium)
1 cup raisins
1/4 cup currants (or raisins)
1/2 cup apple juice concentrate
1 orange
1/2 cup white grape juice concentrate
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Pare and dice 3 cups apples into a saucepan. Add raisins, currants, and apple juice concentrate. Wash the orange thoroughly, and finely grate the peel into the apple mixture. Squeeze juice from half the orange (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup) into saucepan. Stir the mixture, and simmer covered until the apples become soft.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 degrees. When ready, add white grape juice concentrate, cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla extract.
Either bake the pie now, or refrigerate the filling for up to 3 days, and then heat the filling before pouring it into a pie shell to bake. Bake at 450 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Cool to warm (not hot) before serving.
