Because I made quite a few changes, I’ve re-typed it below. I don’t like a very sweet crust, so I omitted the Splenda from the crust and skipped the step where [...]

The original version of this recipe was developed by the California Dried Plum Board. I would link you to it, but I can’t find it on-line…..not even on the California Dried Plum Board web site. I’ll keep looking. This version is a one-bowl, half-batch recipe with an easy to make microwave filling. The ingredient list [...]
