I know everyone is looking for a way to enjoy fruit without eating it raw all the time.
Sometimes I want a dessert with my lunch or dinner, so I do this with the apple – golden delicious or granny smith (or your choice); I have tried the pear, but didn’t like as well.

Quarter apple and remove core. Place in casserole dish; drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle on 1/2 tsb each cinnamon &chili powder (optional – I like it a little spicy), juice from half lemon, 1-2 pkg. splenda or 1 pkg truvia. Bake at 350 or microwave until soft (I like mine mushy).

I only do one apple at a time because it is so good I will eat too much.
Hope you like this.

This was really good and satisfied my sweet tooth. I did baked mine. I did omit the chili powder though. Thanks for sharing.

this sounds yummy…can’t wait to try it!

I did that, only just put cinnamon on each apple and cooked in microwave. Delicious.

i did the same thing in the microwave with a little leamon juice it was great thanks alot.

how long did you microwave it?

Anywhere from 1 to 2 minutes depending on how you like your apples. I think 3 minutes is to long.

thanks to all of you – I have 3 tart apples in the fridge – too tart to eat and was wondering about baking them.  This will do the trick – yes, 1205 Wall, only one apple at a time :)

Thanks! Great idea for apples! I peeled, cored, and sliced mine and then put them in a baking pan. I sprinkled them with Splenda and cinnamon and baked them in my toaster oven. They were a great, flavorful snack!

I ended up having mine at 2p with a dollop of Breakstone cottage cheese sprinkled with cinnamon – ummmm – thanks to whoever it was that suggested that!

This was excellent. It tastes like apple pie. Very satisfying

Can’t wait to try it! Sounds Yummy!

I am on the second day of the 2nd cycle. Was wondering how folks are doing. I only lost 4 pounds but am diabetic and am sure I am insulin resistant. Very happy with the diet,just curious

wow! thanks, that is like a dessert. I used granny smith, cinnamon, sugar and cumin, microwave 2 minutes. Reading on now I see someone did the toaster oven, I may try it that way next time. Delish!

not sugar, Splenda, sorry

just fixed this and added a couple of spoons of vanilla yogurt on top – the warm apple melted it and it tastes like apple pie ala mode!

This was yummy! My version looked like this: Sliced and apple, placed in shallow baking dish, sprinkled with cinnamon. Baked until soft.
Mixed a small dollup of fat free sour cream with 1/2 tsp of agave nectar. Super Yummy! Thanks for the idea!

Sounds great thanks!

cshellca – yes it does sound good – picked up some apples that are too hard/tart for me to eat raw.  I bought the agave nectar for the cookies but haven’t had time to make them.  can’t wait to try the apples.

This sounds great,and will try it out,love desert too

Ok! Now that’s the way to eat an apple! Thanks 1205wall!!!

sounds great…can’t wait to try it!

Sounds yummy. I will be sure to try it.

Add fat free sour cream and nutmeg! Yum

These are absolutely delicious. I am diabetic and have been doing this for a long time. I didn’t even think about them for this diet. Now I will try this in the morning. My husband has been wanting something different and this should do the trick.
