This recipe was adapted from one I found in Gourmet Magazine. I make cinnamon pita chips to use as garnish. Total time includes cooling.
Ingredients:
1 lb gala apples
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup splenda sugar substitute (sugar substitute)
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons apple brandy
2 mini whole wheat pita bread
cooking spray
3 teaspoons splenda sugar substitute
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
1. Peel and core apples, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
2. Bring apples, water, Splenda, zest, and cinnamon to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15 minutes.
3. Remove lid and simmer until most of liquid is evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Add apple brandy and simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 minute.
5. Mash apples with a potato masher or a fork to a coarse sauce, then cool.
6. For Garnish - Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place pitas on cookie sheet and spray both sides with non-stick cooking spray. Cut each pita into 4 wedges. Sprinkle both sides of wedges with mixture of Splenda and cinnamon. Bake in oven just until crisp (5-7 minutes).
