(1 pita-half pie - 139 calories, < 0.5g fat, 207mg sodium, 35g carbs, 5.8g fiber, 16.5g sugars, 3.5g protein = 2 Points)

Ooey-good apple madness!



Ingredients:

4 apples; sliced and peeled

One half tsp. vanilla extract

1 tbsp. brown sugar substitute (or any calorie-free sweetener)

One half tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. cornstarch

2 Western Bagel Alternative Pitas (*or any reduced-calorie pitas); halved



Directions:

In a small covered saucepan, cook sliced and peeled apples in 1/4 cup of water until tender (2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and drain water. Into 1/4 cup of COLD water, mix vanilla, no-cal sweetener, cinnamon and cornstarch. Cook and stir until thickened to a caramel-sauce-like consistency (adding a few drops more water if it gets too thick). Remove from heat and stir apples into mixture. Stuff 4 warm pita halves (30 seconds in the microwave should do it) with mixture.
Serves 4.



*Nutritionals may vary if you use a different type of pita.



HG Tip! This apple mixture is also great solo with a dollop of fat-free Cool Whip!

Have you tried this?? I have it in my HG cookbook but haven't made it yet! It looks SO good but I just wondered if you had made it.

Thanks girl!!!

I've tried a similar recipe using Phyllo dough and was very good and light.
I'm sure this will be a lot better using the pitas b/c it'll soak up the flavor.

Very welcome:flowerforyou:
