So, I decided to try to cook apples without adding sugar, juice, or any more calories for a morning yogurt topping. I am also extemely against any sugar alternatives such as splenda, stevia or aspartame, so I didn't want to add any of those. What resulted was very low on the sweetness scale, but surprisingly good for breakfast. I also ended up adding one whole serving of fruit to my lowfat yogurt which makes for a very helathy breakfast. I found myself wishing I had slivered almonds to sprinkle on the top.
1 apple, peeled, cored and diced
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 large pieces lemon zest
corn starch to thicken
squeeze of lemon
Cook apples, water, cinnamon and zest at a low boil until the apples have broken down, but aren't completely mushy. Add water if need to thin out apples to have a bit of water to make the sauce. Add cold water to about a tablespoon of cornstarch, slowly pour it in to the boiling apples while stirring, bring to a boil. Add a squeeze of lemon and stir. Serve over yogurt.
