Low Fat Crockpot Apple Rings
"Sweet & cinnamon-y! I concocted this recipe when I wanted cooked apples but needed to do dinner prep ahead of time. And I didn't want a large amount of 'sauce', and didn't want butter in it! *Don't overcook this- the liquid will disappear and the apples will turn to mush. Keep an eye on it the first time you make it and record the cooking time!"

2
ingredients
- 2 large apples
- 1⁄2 cup shredded coconut
- 1⁄4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
directions
- Combine all ingredients except apples in a small bowl; the mixture will be thick, without much liquid.
- Core apples, peel, and slice into rings.
- Place about a third of the apples into a small, 3 quart crockpot, and top with about a third of the coconut mixture. Repeat layers.
- Cook, covered, on low setting for about 2 1/2 hours. Stir once. (There will not be a lot of goopy sauce; just enough to flavor every apple slice!).
- Serve warm!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
It wasn't until I got married (2004) that I discovered I love to cook! Almost all of my recipes come from Zaar now, although I will never part with my Mennonite Community Cookbook. (It remains the most informative cookbook I own, and is the style of food I grew up on.)
I believe in eliminating unnatural additives in our diet by avoiding prepared foods whenever possible. I have made my own cream of chicken soup, barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, and more! If I had more time, maybe lived in colonial days, I would do more of that... :)
But I also work full time in a church-based preschool teaching 3 year-olds. During the school year, lesson planning keeps me very busy.
My mother-in-law recently moved in with us, so we're trying to work out the sharing of kitchen duties. I've got to get her to be computer-savvy, so she can cook off of Zaar, too!
