Ingredients:

  • 2-3 apples
  • 2-3 peaches or pears
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 cup nuts of your choice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar free honey or light agave nectar

 

Directions:

1.   Wash, core and chop fruit into slices or chunks.

2.   Place in a large saucepan with 1/3 cup of water. Add the maple syrup and raisins.

3.   Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

4.   Add lemon juice and cinnamon. Cook for another 10 minutes, until soft.

5.   While fruit is cooking, place chopped nuts in a skillet over medium heat and toast, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
