Gluten, Sugar, Egg, Dairy and Soy Free Lemon Squares

Lemon Squares
Makes 16.
Oh my!  These are good!  I didn't even feel like they were "special" at all.  They have no-eggs, no-dairy, no-soy, no-wheat and no-sugar -- Woo hoo!!  

Crust:
Combine
1/3 cup lard or coconut oil
6 packets Truvia
1/4 teaspoon salt
7/8 cup corn flour (or whatever flour you tolerate)
1/4 cup tapioca flour (or cornstarch)

Press the crust into an 8" square pan and bake it at 350F for about 15 minutes.

Filling:
Mix together
3/4 cup corn syrup (or other sticky liquid sweetener like agave or honey)
1/4 cup tapioca flour (or cornstarch)
1/4 teaspoon lemon peel
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons apple sauce
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Carefully pour the filling over the crust.  Bake about 20 minutes or until a knife inserted off center comes out clean.  Optional:  Sprinkle top with one packet of Truvia.
