no bake apple "try"

Yes, I'm calling this apple try because it's not apple pie. I am terrible at baking - ask anyone. Plus it takes forever, and by the time I get home from work & the gym, Joe and I are too hungry to wait for it. So here is a super simple, quite healthy, delicious no bake apple pie.

for the "filling"
Nonstick cooking spray 
4 peeled, cored & thinly sliced granny smith apples
1/2 cup of apple juice
2 teaspoons of honey
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of cornstarch
3 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 pinch of nutmeg



for the "crust"
Kashi Go Lean crunch
Honey Maid low fat cinnamon graham crackers

Coat a nonstick sautee pan in nonstick cooking spray. Leave it on medium heat, add apples and stir them so they dont burn.

While the apples are going, whisk apple juice, honey, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl, then pour over apples. As it heats up, it'll start to carmelize and thicken. Let it cook for about 7 minutes, you want the apples somewhat soft but still kind of crisp. You also want the sauce to thicken, but not dry out.

To serve, lay filling over graham cracker, and sprinkle kashi (you can use granola, i've also had it with special K vanilla almond cereal - play around with it) and serve.

 

i would've taken a better presentation picture, but Joe and I were too excited that we ate so fast i forgot, and this was actually his second serving of it.
