In the mood for apple pie without all the work? Want a warm, delicious dessert that's low calorie and actually good for you? Try this quick easy dessert that will remind you of a yummy apple pie.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Apple
• Knife
• Bowl
• 2 Graham Crackers
• Cinnamon
• Brown Sugar (optional)
• Crushed Walnuts (optional)

1. Skin and core the apple. This is the most time-consuming part, but it's worth it! Cut the apple into chunks and cut off the skin, placing the chunks in a bowl.

2. Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the apple chunks to taste (a couple teaspoons should be good).

3. Heat in the microwave for 5 minutes.

4. Remove from microwave and crumble the graham crackers on top of the apples. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon, and if desired, a teaspoon of brown sugar and some walnuts.

5. Heat entire bowl for 1 minute.

Tips & Warnings

• Calories (without sugar and walnuts): 200 calories!!
• Calories (with sugar & 1/8 cup of walnuts): 315 calories!
• This is great when you are craving apple pie or apple crisp, but don't have the time. It "bakes" in just 6 minutes!
• Be careful when cutting with the knife.
• The apple will be very warm when removed from the microwave. Allow time to cool before eating.
