WW Cinnamon Apple Stir-Fry

WW Recipe of the Day: Cinnamon Apple Stir Fry

I love the fried apples from Cracker Barrel. Southern comfort food at its finest, I like to order them every time I visit. But a small serving has 170 calories and 8 SmartPoints according the the WW APP!

So I was excited to come across this lighter healthier take: Cinnamon Apple Stir Fry from the great Cookbook, Eat What You Love (affiliate link) by Marlene Koch.

These quick and easy Stovetop Cinnamon Apples are perfectly sweet, delicious, and so versatile. They come together quickly and there are so many ways to serve them. These warm tasty apples work great on their own as a side dish, snack or dessert.

Top with a dollop of whipped cream or serve over ice cream or frozen yogurt for a decadently delicious dessert. Use as a topping for oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes or waffles. So many possibilities!
