How to Make an Easy, Quick, Low Calorie Apple Dessert

Just one apple is necessary for this quick dessert.

For all the good things that can be said about apple pie, two bad things are they are usually full of calories and take a lot of time to make and bake. A quick option is a warm dessert that takes a few minutes and has a calorie count of 200 if you leave out the sugar and walnuts. It "bakes" in just 6 minutes.

Things You'll Need

• Apple
• Knife
• Bowl
• 2 Graham Crackers
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• Brown Sugar (optional)
• Crushed walnuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Skin and core the apple into chunks. Place the chunks in a bowl.

2. Sprinkle 2 tsp. of cinnamon on top of the apple chunks. The cinnamon can be more or less than 2 tsp. according to taste.

3. Heat in the microwave for 5 minutes.

4. Remove the bowl from microwave. Crush and crumble the graham crackers, and spread them on top of the apples. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon, and if desired, 1 tsp. of brown sugar and some walnuts.

5. Heat the entire bowl for 1 more minute.

Tips & Warnings

• Other versions of this apple pie use lemon juice and different microwave times.

• Give the apple dessert about 1 minute to cool in the microwave.
