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!
