Want a healthy, quick snack that will satisfy your cravings?? TASTES LIKE APPLE PIE FILLING AND
LESS THAN 100 CALORIES!
I had originally saw this recipe posted on Pinterest, but I played around with it a bit until it was to my liking!
All you need is:
1 small-medium sized apple (the original called for Granny Smith, but I used Empire)
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
1/4tsp Cornstarch
1 spoonful of sugar (or sweetner if preferred)
1 tsp of water
1 Medium Sized Ziploc freezer bag (durable to withstand heat in microwave) or use a microwave-safe contained with lid.
Raisins, nuts, etc optional
Instructions:
1. The original recipe called for peeled OR unpeeled apple slices, however, the first time I attempted the recipe, I wasn't too fond of the cooked 'skin' taste.
2. Place apple slices & all ingredients in Ziploc bag, close and shake until all pieces are covered.
3. Open a small corner of the bag to act as a vent for steam.
4. Microwave for 2 minutes--let sit before removing from microwave as the bag will be VERY hot!
5. Open up, take a fork and dig in!!
SO DELICIOUS!
Excellent idea...especially if you have apples that are not quite as crisp to eat as your family likes. One strong word of caution...do not use plastic bags or wrap in the microwave. The heat causes the chemicals to be leached into food. Unless it clearly states "microwave/heat safe" it is not. I would recommend a bowl covered with a napkin or all-natural wax paper. Not quite as easy-peazy clean up...but much safer to family. =o)
