    Ingredients

    Ingredients needed to make healthy stewed apples

    If you have a sweet tooth like me, sugar free desserts are your best friend. And these single serve desserts under 200 calories are perfect for after dinner cravings, along with these sneaky sugar free chocolate desserts.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Apples:  Granny smith apples, also known as cooking apples are one of the best type of apples to use and I love them for their sharper flavor.  Other apple varieties that would work just as well are Baldwin, Cameo, Cortland, Idared.  These are all varieties of tart and crisp apples that hold thier shape well during cooking and baking.
    • Sugar Alternative:  I used classic white monkfruit sweetener which is a sgranulated sweetener that measures like sugar.  Granulated stevia or any other granulated sweetener that measures like sugar could also be used.
    • Spices:  I like using ground cinnamon, with a little ground cloves and mixed spice. Alternatively you could use a cinnamon stick, ground ginger or even a dash of vanilla essence.
    • Lime: this balances out the sweetness and tartness of the apples. Lemon juice will also work.

    How To Make

    Peel apples into chunks, making sure to get all the peel off from the edges

    Chop apples into bite sized chunks, about 2cm x 2 cm or ½ inch squares

    chopped apples on a cutting board

    Add chopped apples to a pot on stove on medium heat, along with all other ingredients. (don't use a lid on the pan)

    raw apples in a pot ready to be cooked

    Cook for 10 - 15 minutes or until fragrant and apples are starting to soften. (Make sure to put a timer on). Stirring every couple of minutes to ensure apples cook evenly through.

    Taste apples to see if they are cooked to your liking after 12 minutes, if not cook for another couple of minutes.

    Ways to Use Stewed Apples

    • Breakfast: Use stewed apples as a sweet topping for oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, and pancakes.
    • Desserts: Serve stewed apples as a topping for ice cream or as a filling for crepes and waffles.
    • Apple Pie Filling: Prepare your favorite pie crust, and then use the stewed apples as the filling
    • Meat Sides: Pair stewed apples with pork or poultry dishes as a sweet and savory side.

    Storage

    Storage: Before storing, let the cooked apples come to room temperature. Then place into an air tight plastic container with lid and keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

    Freezing: This recipe is not suitable for freezing. Its best to eat within 2 - 3 days.

    Tips

    • Apples cut roughly the same size will allow for more even cooking
    • Lemon juice or lime juice is what prevents apples from turning brown when stewing.
    • If apples are too mushy, then the heat is too high. I cook mine with the lid off on medium heat for 10 - 15 mins to get tender (not mushy) apples.

      We had to put more spices, Splenda and some butter and cook longer . Our Granny apples were sour.
