Caribbean Cooking: Grilled Stuffed Trout With Asparagus

EASY APPLE DESSERT

Prep time: 5 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes. Serves: 4

1 lb apples, quartered, cored, and peeled
1 tbsp maple syrup (or a little sugar)
1 tbsp water

Slice the apples and place in a medium saucepan with a little maple syrup and water. Cover the pan and place over a medium heat. Bring to a good simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking for another couple of minutes until apples softened and chunky.

Serve over the best vanilla ice cream.

Note: Add a couple of whole cloves while cooking the apples, but remember to remove them before serving!

Note: Stewed apples can be kept for a week in the fridge, so triple the recipe and spoon it over your cereal or create other tasty desserts.
