Spiced Caramelized Apples

Spiced Caramelized Apples

Four servings, one block each

Ingredients:
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 apples*
1 1/3 teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Dash nutmeg
5 tablespoons water

Instructions:
In a sauté pan heat oil and sugar, stirring continuously until sugar melts. When sugar has melted, add apples and spices and stir to coat apples. Add 3 tablespoons water and stir occasionally to loosen apples. Cook apples until they are lightly browned on all sides. While apples are cooking, place cottage cheese in four serving dishes. Remove apples from pan and put on top of cottage cheese. Add tablespoons of water to the sauté pan. Cook liquid until it forms a thin sauce. Pour over apples.

*Note: To stop apples from turning brown, dip cut apples in a little lemon juice and water mixture.
