Picked up some windfalls yesterday and rather than turn them into pie or pud (I will make both at one stage over winter!) I stewed them. Might seem obvious to some but is absolutely flipping delicious and ridiculously low cal:
*350g cooking apples, peeled, cored, cubed (post-prep weight!)
*35g ‘total sweet’ sugar alternative (comes in at about 85cal, agave nectar would be approx 105)
*25g sultanas
*tsp mixed spice
*tsp cinnamon
*25g flaked almonds
Put all ingredients except almonds in a pan and cook over a medium heat with the lid on for approximately 10mins or until softened.
Add flaked almonds at the end of cooking time and allow to cool and refrigerate.
100g of the stewed apples = approx 100calories
So I served myself 100g of 0% fat Greek style yoghurt (57 cals) with 50g of the apples stirred through (50g). Soooo tasty!
The sweet tooth that hounded me last time I quit smoking has returned this time round (2weeks+ smoke free!!)… But determined not to let it beat me!!
