The apple harvest is here. And I am loving it. Apples have to be my most favorite fruit. Two years ago we planted 3 tart apple trees in our yard. This year we had one tiny apple, but it is getting red! LOL! We are going to enjoy that little apple.

• 6 cooking apples, peeled, cored and quartered
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3/4 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground Nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Apple Juice
• 2 teaspoon liquid Sweetener such as Agave Nectar

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Place in a casserole dish.  Mix cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt with 1/2 cup apple juice until smooth. In a different saucepot bring the remaining apple juice to a boil. Add the cornstarch mixture and sweetener. Reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Pour over apples and bake for about 30 minutes until soft but not mushy. Serve warm with whipped topping or ice cream.
