Ooey-good apple madness!

Ingredients:
4 apples; sliced and peeled
One half tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. brown sugar substitute (or any calorie-free sweetener)
One half tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. cornstarch
2 Pita bread loaves, havled (use low cal high fiber pitas)

Directions:
In a small covered saucepan, cook sliced and peeled apples in 1/4 cup of water until tender (2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and drain water. Into 1/4 cup of COLD water, mix vanilla, no-cal sweetener, cinnamon and cornstarch. Cook and stir until thickened to a caramel-sauce-like consistency (adding a few drops more water if it gets too thick). Remove from heat and stir apples into mixture. Stuff 4 warm pita halves (30 seconds in the microwave should do it) with mixture. Serves 4.

*Nutritionals may vary if you use a different type of pita.


This apple mixture is also great solo with a dollop of fat-free Cool Whip!
 
Oooohhhhhhhhh, that sounds wonderful!!!! I've got to try it this weekend.
 
1 tbsp. brown sugar substitute

I made this tonite and it's quite tasty.. but I noticed something reading labels.. the Brown Sugar Blend of Splenda has more calories than plain brown sugar does... and doesn't have near as good a taste... so if you are going to make this -- unless you need to avoid sugar-- use the real stuff. and forget the brown sugar splenda.. it'snot calorie free...
