Broiled Apples in Brown Sugar & Honey Sauce

Note from Cheri: This diabetic friendly recipe (wow, that's a mouthful) was given to us by Marilyn Helton (right), who many of you know through her column here "Diabetic Dining on Fabulous Foods." These apples make a great topping to use for Rosh Hashana celebrations, which center around many traditions, one of which is cooking and baking with honey. Serve them hot as a side dish or as a waffle, pancake or dessert topping.

2 large cooking or baking apples 1 T butter 2 T honey 4 T brown sugar 1/8 tsp. ground cloves

Serves 4 To prepare apples, core, but do not peel. Remove skin 1/2" from each end. Slice apples into rings 1/2" thick and lay in a shallow, broiler-proof baking pan which has been coated with butter-flavored vegetable spray. Melt butter in a saucepan & add honey, brown sugar & cloves. Cook just until mixture is smooth and liquid. Spoon over apple rings and broil at moderate heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until apple rings are tender. Baste with syrup and serve hot as a side dish or as a waffle, pancake or dessert topping.
