"I love pumpkin pie and bread, but as a diabetic, I can't have the sugar," explains Rita Barnes of Fort Dodge, Iowa. "This spread has the same spicy pumpkin flavor, so it's a good alternative."

1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 to 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Bagels or toast

In a bowl, combine apple juice and dry pudding mix. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Stir in pumpkin and pie spice. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve on bagels or toast. Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
