Baked apples and sultanas - scrummy. Just core the apples fill them with sultanas and spice and roast for an hour, you can add some brown sugar if you like, inside the apple with sultanas

Delicious - good luck

Bran/high-fiber wheat muffins or cupcakes with apples and cinnamon are pretty awesome, and make a great low-cal breakfast or snack. Here are a few recipes from EatingWell:

I haven't made either of these specific recipes, but some apple bran muffins I've made in the past are similar to the first one (very yummy). I went apple picking, too, and I cannot wait to make apple cupcakes with cinnamon marshmallow frosting

Roasted Apple Butter:

8 med, McIntosh Apples, peeled, cored, and quartered (we used Gala and it worked out fine)
2 cups unsweetened apple juice

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Arrange apples in a roasting pan. Pour jiuce over apples. Bake until tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Using a fork or potato masher to mash in roasting pan. Reduce temp to 350 degrees. Stir occassionally. Bake til thick and deep brown. Put in bowl to cool. Add cinnamon to taste.

Also, invest in a dehydrator. Dry them out and you can use them in recipies later. They are great in oatmeal. The possibilities are endless.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What about a microwave baked apple, it is fast, easy, and good. After you core out the center, add nuts, raisins, a drizzle of honey then microwave 2-3 minutes depending on your micro. One other quick idea my family loves is when I make my apple pie filling and microwave it, no crust just fruit. Yum....

Apple slices with Peanut Butter or sprinkled with cinnamon.

Baked apple slices (I use lots of cinnamon, 3 packets of splenda, 1 unpacked tsp of brown sugar, a few sprinkles of powdered ginger, and a small pinch of nutmeg to make mine these days). Makes them taste like gingerbread on an apple.

Also great in oatmeal with some cinnamon, unsweetened apple sauce or milk of your choice, and sweetener of your choice. Kind of like apple cinnamon oats or apple pie oats if you use applesauce.

For breakfast this morning, I had half an apple, chopped, with a spoonful of canned pumpkin stirred in. I sprinkled cinnamon and a spoonful of crushed cornflakes on that, and microwaved it for about a minute. It made a warm, delicious apple crisp alternative. Only 60 calories, fat free, and it's single serving! I got that splendid idea from a blog I read.

It'd probably be good without the pumpkin, too, but I happen to have part of a can that I need to use.
