Do you ever have a late-night craving for dessert but don't want to ruin the healthy eating you've done during the day? This happens to me pretty frequently. My mom told me about this dessert years ago, and it's pretty perfect. Essentially it's apple pie filling so you lose the calories from pie crust, and you don't have to eat that stuff that comes from the can. Is that really even apples?
This really should be "baked" apples because it's done in the microwave. Hence the easy part. I indicated in the recipe to use one tablespoon of butter but you could easily halve that amount to save some calories. Another way to save calories is to use Splenda or another sweetener. But I know there are people out there who think that sweeteners are the devil more or less, so use what you prefer. The next time you have a dessert craving in a bad way, I highly recommend this.
