Ingredients
- Spritz of cooking spray like Pam®
- 1 apple, chopped after coring
- Pinch of salt for seasoning
- 1 generous tablespoon of zesty lemon juice
- A tablespoon of plump raisins
- ½ teaspoon of aromatic ground cinnamon
- Packet of granular sucralose sweetener like Splenda® (around 1 gram)
- ¼ cup of water, adjust as needed
Step 1
Begin by gently heating a cozy skillet on low heat and give it a quick spritz of cooking spray. Toss in some slices of apple, sprinkle a pinch of salt for flavor, and let them gently warm up for about 1 to 2 minutes. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the apples, giving them a delightful citrusy kick, and give everything a good toss. Next, add in some plump raisins, a dash of aromatic cinnamon, and a touch of sweetener to enhance the flavors. Keep cooking until the apples are soft and tender, easily pierced with a fork. If the mixture seems a bit dry, splash in some water to moisten things up. This should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Enjoy this warm and comforting apple dish that's bursting with delicious flavors!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Start by selecting firm and ripe apples. Store them in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness and flavor.
- 2. Prior to baking, core and slice the apples, then toss them with a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, and a dash of lemon juice. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to let the flavors marry and intensify.
