Serves 4

This is a perfect treat for cold winter days, providing a healthy alternative to snack foods.

4 apples

4 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1½ tablespoons raisins

• Slice off the top of each apple and set aside to serve as the lid. Core the apples.

• Mix together the honey, cinnamon, and raisins. Spoon a quarter of the mixture into each apple and replace the lids.

• Steam the apples until they are soft but not mushy. Serve warm.

Steamed Fruit

When steaming fruit, it's important to remove the fruit from the pot immediately, so that it doesn't continue cooking in the hot liquid and become mushy.
