From *The Carnival Experience* by Peter Leypold ( Exec Chef of Carnival Cruise Lines), here's another French recipe using the humble apple to create an amazingly low-cal & low-fat, but elegant finish for an otherwise heavy meal. My sweet-tooth DH would want a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt w/this, so feel free to indulge that request as desired. (Times have been estimated) *Enjoy* ! Ingredients:
6 granny smith apples (or other cooking apples) |
2 cups water |
1/2 cup calvados |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 cinnamon stick (small) |
1/4 cup slivered almonds (toasted) |
Directions:
1. Remove core from apples & peel if desired (I would prefer them unpeeled).
2. Combine water, Calvados, sugar + cinnamon stick in med saucepan & heat till sugar is dissolved.
3. Add apples & cook over low-heat till apples are tender (about 25 min) & spoon liquid over apples occ. Carefully remove apples w/a slotted spoon, allow excess liquid to drain & place on individual serving plates.
4. Cont cooking liquid till reduced by half, spoon over apples, sprinkle w/almonds & serve immediately.
