Craving something sweet but trying to eat well? Here's how to make a really quick, healthy dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Apples
  • Cinnamon,Ginger,Nutmeg
  • Splenda or Equal
  • Lite Margerine
  • Optional- Dark Chocolate, peanuts, almonds, lemon juice, low-fat ice cream or yogurt
  1. Step 1

    Slice apples in bite-sized pieces, or 1/8 slices. You can use just about any type of apple, even the more sour-variety, because cooking them makes them very sweet. Use about one apple per serving. If you have a lot of servings, or it will be a while before cooking them, apply lemon juice to keep them from oxidizing (turning brown).

  2. Step 2

    Microwave or cook them in a sauce pan on the stove until the apples are soft. With most microwaves, a couple of minutes or so should be sufficient for one apple. Add the cinnamon at this point. Optional: add ginger and nutmeg or even cardamom (your preference).

  3. Step 3

    Once the apples have cooked, you can sprinkle a little sweetener on them and some butter or margarine. You can also shave a little bit of dark chocolate on top or some nuts...and now enjoy!

Tips & Warnings
  • You can add this to low-fat ice cream and it's delicious.
  • Vanilla is another wonderful spice to add to this dessert.
  • Low-fat yogurt is a nice, healthy option for this dessert too.
  • Sprinkle some almonds or peanuts on top for a real treat.
