Sugar-free maple flavored syrup is the key to keeping these cinnamon fried apples low in calories and WW Points. If you opt for real maple syrup instead the Points increases to 5 per serving.

Another option might be to use real maple syrup, but only half as much, for a Points value of 3.

Be sure to choose an apple that won't turn to mush during cooking. Granny Smith, Gala, Braeburn, Honey Crisp, Fuji and Pink Lady would all be good.
