Ingredients
Apple
4 medium, cored (use Granny Smith for tart flavour; use Gala for sweet flavour)
Ground cinnamon
1 tsp(s)
Ground ginger
½ tsp(s)
Sugar substitute
¼ cup(s)
Water
¼ cup(s)
Fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp(s)
Fat-free sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
¼ oz, about 2 Tbsp
Fat-free skim milk
¾ cup(s)
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Using a vegetable peeler, peel a 1/2-inch horizontal strip around apples to help release juices during baking. Place apples in a 9 X 9-inch baking dish.
2
Combine cinnamon, ginger and Splenda in a small bowl. Place 1 tablespoon of cinnamon mixture in cored-out centre of each apple, then sprinkle with remaining cinnamon mixture. Combine water and lemon juice in a cup. Pour liquid around apples.
3
Bake until apples are soft when pierced with a knife, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
4
Pour pudding mix into a medium bowl. Whisk in milk to make a fairly thin sauce. Place one apple on a plate and drizzle with sauce.
5
Yields 1 apple and about 1/4 cup of sauce per serving.
