One more (last one!) of mine from food.com

"A sweet and tasty, yet healthy, alternative to traditional apple crumble. This can be made at work as a quick lunch or dessert, or in the oven at home if you have the time. Superb for dieters, waist watchers, and healthy eaters alike.

Ingredients:
1 large apple (Granny Smith or Crispins are ideal)
1 tablespoon artificial sweetener (I use Splenda Brown Sugar blend)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup low-fat granola
1 dash water or 1 dash lemon juice

Directions:
Prep Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 10 mins
1 Slice apple in half, then into 1/2-cm thick slices.
2 Sprinkle 1/2 Tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 Tbsp of Splenda into the bottom of a small, microwavable bowl.
3 Arrange half of the apple slices into the bowl.
4 Repeat Step 2 with the remaining ingredients, including the sprinkle of water/lemon juice and the Cereal or Granola (keep granola/cereal until after heating if you want it to remain crunchy, not soggy).
5 Nuke in the microwave on high for about 1 1/2-2 minutes, depending on the microwave, until the apples are just tender. The steam from the water or juice will cook the apples slightly.
6 Remove from microwave and enjoy!

    Sounds like a sweet low calorie snack. Where do you get your granola from? I like really crunchy granola....like...have you ever tried Starbucks Fruit & Yogurt Parfaits? I LOVE the granola they use. I wish I could find something like that somewhere....

    I LOVE Jordan's Supreme Muesli or President's Choice (Loblaws) Original Granola (This one is my ultimate favourite). They are both about 200-220 calories per 3/4 cup, low in fat (5g and 2.5, I think, respectively), and DELISH. The Jordan's will get mushy, however, as it is a muesli and will get soggy when it soaks up the apple juices). The other one will stay crunchy.

    And no, sadly I have not tried the Starbucks ones yet....

    This sounds delicious. Some people said looking for crunchy granola. Try Kashi go lean crunch cereal. THE BEST!!

    So I ended up trying this snack tonight and it was pretty delicious. 1 tsp of cinnamon might be a little much for 1/2 an apple but if you don't mind all the cinnamon then load it on! I ended up buying Archer Farms Vanilla Almond granola and used 1/4 cup to top my apple slices with. It turned out really good.
