Defrost pastry and line an 8- or 9-inch shallow nonstick pie pan,
gently stretching to fit, if necessary. Trim edges and discard excess
pastry.
Combine remaining ingredients, except sugar substitute; mix well.
Spoon half of the fruit mixture into pie crust. Sprinkle evenly with
sugar substitute, if desired. Add remaining fruit filling. Cut a sheet
of foil smaller than the pie pan and use to cover the top of the pie,
protecting fruit filling while exposing the crust border. (Or cover the
pie pan with a slightly smaller pie pan.) Bake in a preheated 425 oven
25 to 30 minutes, until crust is browned. Remove from oven and cool.
Serve warm or chilled.
