Warm Apple Pie Thursday

When I think of fall I think of Apples and Pumpkin Spice!  My two new favorites for fall . . . . .
 pumpkin spice coffee from the WiFi Coffee Shop on Main Street and this wonderful Apple Pie recipe I found from Hungry Girl. 

I had to try out the recipe on the ladies at work and I think at our Meltdown meeting for Healthy Cooking I will fix this as our dessert.  We love apples at the Henry Homestead so this was a crowd pleaser with my cowboys too! 



• 1 medium Fuji apple, cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 12 - 15 pieces Red Hots Cinnamon Flavored Candy (found at Walmart in candy isle)
• 1/2 sheet (2 crackers) low-fat cinnamon graham crackers (I used regular and it was still great)
• 2 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip (or more!)
• Dash cinnamon (I would use nutmeg too)

Put apple cubes in a microwavable cup or mug. Top with Red Hots -- the more you use, the hotter your pie in a mug will be! Cover and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir well. Re-cover and microwave for an additional 1 - 2 minutes, until apple cubes are soft.

**I actually used an entire bag of apples and sliced them up, put them in the crock pot and added the red hots to it ~ 1 bag of apples plus 1 entire box of red hots plus a about 1/2 cup of water.Meanwhile, place graham crackers in a plastic bag and thoroughly crush through the bag; set aside.

Once cup or mug is cool enough to handle, mix contents well. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

Top with most of the crushed graham crackers followed by the whipped topping. (Use a double serving, if you like!)

Sprinkle with cinnamon and remaining crushed grahams. Voila!
