cherry pie addiction

Dammit.

I'm a vegetarian, pretty much a health nut, but I cannot get over this addiction to cherry pie. I've tried to cut it out, all that refined sugar and butter...oh, but, mmmmmm.

So, rather then deprive myself, I've decided to try and find a pleasant alternative. Does anybody know of a good cherry-pie, or cherry-pie-like pastry that is sugar-free or whatnot. I'm not really a big fan of low-fat stuff, just because they tend to make up for the "low fat" by loading up on sugar. Or, even a recipe might help, though I'm not a great cook. I know this might sound silly, but I'm totally serious. If I can't find something soon, I'm going to end up at Denny's at four in the morning with my face buried in a giant pie...:rolleyes:

thanks!
 
That WAS funny. Can't help ya though -- sorry. I'm not addicted to cherry pie... I do like bluerberry though:)

anywho -- Look up some stuff on internet. Maybe you can find something.. gooood luck with your quest.
 
I haven't tried either of these but they sound ok :)

Dear God, I leave for One Day...

The last time I checked, there were no replies to this thread...

Thank You Kel! Those recipes are awesome! I'm not a great baker, but for this I might just have to put on a big white hat and go to town...

And thanks for the suggestion Veggielifter, I usually use fructose or something like that. Do those fifty/50 candies use splenda?

Fuck I love cherry pie...I think I've been watching too much twin peaks (if anybody knows what I'm talking about, I love you).

Dude,

I'm no longer agonizing over it. I don't stress out about food, but if I had my way, I'd eat one of those buttery, crusty, fruity mf's everyday if I could, right after my tofu and water chestnut pita. Just looking for a healthy alternative to keep my ravenous, destructive apetite under control.
