Guilt-Free Apple Dessert
- Start with an Apple. (I LOVE Gala ones).
- Slice said apple.
- If you don't have an apple slicer/corer, go buy one. They are so worth the money.
- Throw the core away, put the apple in a bowl, and add some water (about 1/4 Cup or so).
- Next step not pictured: put the bowl of apple slices in the microwave, COVER, and cook for 2 minutes. Now carefully pour all the water out. You can leave the apple in the bowl or put it on a plate.
- Once you've drained the water, sprinkle cinnamon all over the apple. NOTE: Use straight cinnamon. You do not need a cinnamon/sugar mixture for this.
- Now enjoy eating them (careful, they are H-O-T).
- They taste like apple pie without the crust.
- They are so delish. Even my kids like them.
- Have a healthy week!
