I love the mini-apple pie idea I do this too, but had sort of forgotten about it lately - it's a nice warm dessert for these freezing cold winter days!
Yeah, the thing about fruit is that it really can be as bad as sugar for upsetting insulin levels. For instance, I ate a nectarine with lunch (my RM) today and felt a bit dizzy/nauseous afterwards. And I can never eat raw apples, even a slice, b/c they make me severly dizzy/nauseous no matter when I eat then, whether on CAD or off... I think it must be a glycemic index thing, but I don't know. Berries are fine though, as are cooked apples, amazingly, and sometimes half an orange or grapefruit.
I wish I were able to eat more fruit really (bananas! yum), but I figure that I eat plenty of vegetables and other things along with a multivitamin to get me enough vitamins. Sometimes I wonder if fruit is an over-rated source of vitamins since most of the same vitamins (and more) can be found in vegetables. Perpertuating the idea that vegetables are "yukky"? Hm... And then people eat more fruit and few vegetables - I know I used to be this way. I guess it's kind of hard to watch people drinking juice instead of pop, thinking that it's a healthier choice when it both is and isn't - both are loaded with sugar (esp bottled juice) except that juice has nutritional value. Or maybe I'm just jealous of people who can drink juice
