INGREDIENTS
1
cup apple cider or apple juice
1/2
stick cinnamon or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1
Golden Delicious apple, peeled, halved and cored
1/4
cup vanilla sugar-free fat-free yogurt
1/4
teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4
cup chopped pecans, toasted
PREPARATION:
- Bring apple cider and cinnamon stick to a boil in small saucepan over high heat. Let boil, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup.
- Add apples; cover and simmer about 10 minutes or until apples are just tender. Gently remove apple halves and poaching liquid from saucepan. Refrigerate until cooled.
- Combine yogurt and ground cinnamon in small bowl; reserve 1 tablespoon. Divide remaining yogurt mixture evenly between 2 dessert dishes. Place apple halves on top of sauce. Sprinkle each apple half with toasted pecans. Drizzle with reserved yogurt sauce.
Tip
To toast the pecans, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until very lightly browned. Use them immediately or store them in a covered container in the refrigerator.
