So, this summer Mr. McKinney and I jumped on a little diet bandwagon. We both wanted to make some changes and have had success with Weight Watchers in the past, so we thought we would try it again. And, it really is a good system. You can eat anything you want because everything has points. Its something we like because it’s teaching us how to make better food decisions and not abandon the foods we love. It’s way more than “everything in moderation.” Its moderation in moderation too and learning to make better food choices overall.

One of the places I’ve struggled most is with breakfast. I don’t love traditional breakfast foods, but I also know I need something in the mornings to keep my blood sugar from dropping. (No, I’m not diabetic, but I did faint on a plane in April because I didn’t have enough protein.) One thing I’ve come to like for breakfast is just a good piece of toast or English Muffin. I do love the breakfast sandwiches I make Mr. McKinney, but I have issues with eggs. I’m weird, but they just freak me out.

As I was adjusting to our new lifestyle trying to eat way less sugar, I tried to come up with options of what I could put on toast or English muffins. There are many great sugar-free things you can buy at the grocery store (hello grocery pick up). But, apple butter and warm cinnamony flavors are something I love. With a little research, I discovered I could make apple butter by using the sweetest fruits and no added sugar. I knew that would be my best option. Basically, by using the sweetest apples and cooking them down, I made a cinnamony apple sauce that was perfect for what I was looking for.

Notes

This recipe is Zero (0) points on Weight Watchers Freestyle program. Fuji and Gala apples are the sweetest apple varieties and they combine together to make a sweet sauce without any added sugar. Some who like their apple butter a little more \”spicy\” may want to add a second Tablespoon of the cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Apple pie spice could also be used as spice flavor if that\’s what you already have.

Oh and in case you wondered, my ultimate taste tester totally approved!
