Stewed Creamy Apple

Just 100 Calories, p. 138

1 lb/450 g cooking apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

1 tbsp honey, or to taste

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2-3 tbsp water

1 ¼ cups lowfat strained plain yogurt

5 oz/140 g fresh raspberries

Few fresh mint sprigs, to decorate

Place the apples in a pan with the honey, cinnamon, and water then place over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the apples are soft and fluffy. 

You won't know what "fluffy" means until you suddenly know what "fluffy" means.

Remove from the heat and beat until free from any lumps. Let cool.

Make SURE you get a kind of apple that gets soft when it cooks. I didn't, and I had to do this with a potato masher and a ton of elbow grease.

Place the yogurt in a large bowl and stir in the apples. Set aside a few fresh raspberries for decoration then stir the remainder gently in the apple mixture. Spoon into 4 individual dishes and child for at least 1 hour.

Decorate with the reserved raspberries and the mint sprigs and serve.

So pretty!

My Rating: 4/5 "This is surprisingly good. It makes a nice light dessert with lots of cool flavor. Low-calorie, too!"
