Stewed apples, simple right? Well, I could never imagine how good these fruit taste once they have been treated with some lovely spices. You can serve them warm in the winter or put them in the fridge and serve them cold in the summer. Either way, they taste delicious and they will have everyone making them once they have tried these goodies once. I have used sweetener Stevia in this recipe to keep the sugar and calorie content low but you can use one teaspoon of sugar in each apple if you prefer to go wild. With Stevia, this recipe becomes both diabetic and weight loss friendly.

THE STORY

Truth is that my good friend and fellow registered dietitian-nutritionist Anna Vogiatzoglou showed me how to make these apples 15 years ago while we were flat sharing during our master’s degree. I remember we were walking everywhere at the time and staying in Lister House Postgraduate Halls we were walking daily to the old Yorkhill hospital for our classes and back. I remember returning home feeling so so so hungry. We were spending most of the evenings in the common kitchen, cooking, exchanging recipes, and reading the Heat magazine! Oh the good old days…

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN

These stewed apples are super easy to make and the results will keep you happy and content. Bye-bye after-dessert cravings.
