Alicia and John's Crustless Apple Pie



Alicia and John's Crustless Apple Pie


Gather:
Fruit: we use 1 fruit per person in the recipe and adjust everything else to that size
For this, we are serving 4
2 pear
2 apples
a little lemon (to squeeze on the fruit to keep it from browning in the air)
3 stevia packets
some butter (to your preference)
cinnamon
vanilla
heavy whipping cream


Slice the apples and the pears.

Melt your butter in a large saucepan.


Sprinkle out some cinnamon (to taste) we used about a Tbsp here

Pour out some vanilla (we used about a tsp here)

Open your Stevia packets


Add all 3, cinnamon, stevia  and vanilla to the cooking apples.

Saute until apples are soft. (approx 5 minutes or so-check with a fork, if fork can pierce apple easily, they are done)


As the apples and pears cook, prep your whipped cream.
You'll need heavy whipping cream, some vanilla, and a stevia for this. It's best to place the whipping cream in a VERY cold bowl to it to whip up well.
Pour the whipping cream in the bowl, add some vanilla, and stevia packet.I just really guess at this part.
How can you ever have too much whipped cream?


Whip to Soft Peaks

almost there...


See the 'soft peaks' formed. It's done.

Dish out the apples and pears, top with Fresh Whipped Cream!
Enjoy!
