Apples

Can anyone suggest a yummy, low fat/low cal recipe for soft apples? I had trouble eating a pear once, so I've kind of stayed away from all similar fruit due to the fear of getting stuck. It is fall now and the apples look soooo good. I'd love to be able to have some without the fear of getting stuck. Thanks!

Have you tried peeling them first? For me, it's not the actual apple but rather the skin that can be tricky. If I peel the apple first I have no problems whatsoever.

Just a thought :)

Its not the skin for me, I think it is just the fact that it is a hard food. No matter how much a chew it, it seems to feel weird going down.

I got some honeycrisps at the grocery store yesterday and tried them this morning. Amazing! I peeled the skin, cut them up in chunks, sprinkled a bit of water, some cinnamon and some truvia and put them in the microwave for about 45 seconds. They are AMAZING! Thanks for the ideas y'all!
