Apple Pie Filling

The problem with most desserts is that they're full of sugar. If they're not, they use chemical sweeteners. Neither is good! So, I came up with a new option to make a fairly healthy and tasty dessert. This apple pie filling is yummy, but has NO sugar or chemical sweeteners!

Ingredients:
4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
1 tbsp. agave nectar
1 - 2 tbsp. lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
1 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:
Place all ingredients in a saucepan and cover it. Simmer on low heat for about an hour, until apples are soft. Stir occasionally. If you wish, add a bit of whole wheat flour or cornstarch towards the end of cooking (mix with cold water first) to thicken the juice surrounding the apples. Use for apple crisp or pie or simply eat as is!

I did try to make this into crisp, and I used whole wheat flour, agave nectar, and cinnamon for the topping. It didn't quite work. I needed a tiny bit of brown sugar and butter to make it good. But if you start with the whole wheat flour and agave nectar, you won't need as much butter or brown sugar and it would still be healthy. :)
