1 cup water

1 stk cinnamon

1 Fuji apple peeled, cored,

and cut into 16 wedges

2 cups nonfat milk

3/4 cup egg substitute

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon to taste

Preparation

Combine 1 cup sugar, water and cinnamon stick in saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Add apple wedges. Simmer until wedges are tender, 20 minutes.

Remove from heat. Let apples cool slightly, until they are warm to touch. Remove apples from syrup and drain. Arrange 4 apple wedges in bottom of each of 4 custard cups.

Combine milk, egg substitute, remaining 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla. Pour over apples. Place custard cups in shallow baking pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up sides of cups.

Bake at 325 degrees until custard is set in center, 30 to 35 minutes. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon and serve warm.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
