If u prefer tart apple crisp try granny smith Apples
For a softer texture try fuji apples
And for an intense apple flavor add bromley apples
Or a blend of different types of apples

 That sound deli**** reminded me of a great recipe I've been enjoying from Hungry Girl (Lisa Lillien) and well suited to my lazy ways:

Red Hot Apple Pie in a Mug

• 1 medium Fuji apple, cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 12 to 15 pieces Red Hots Cinnamon Flavored Candy
• 1/2 sheet (2 crackers) low-fat cinnamon graham crackers
• 2 tablespoons fat-free whipped topping (from an aerosol canister), or more for optional topping
• Dash cinnamon
•  

• Directions

  Put apple cubes in a microwavable cup or mug. Top with Red Hots. Cover and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir well. Re-cover and microwave for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until apple cubes are soft.

   

  Meanwhile, place graham crackers in a plastic bag and thoroughly crush through the bag; set aside.

   

  Once cup or mug is cool enough to handle, mix contents well. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

   

  Top with most of the crushed graham crackers followed by the whipped topping. Add an extra serving of whipped topping, if you like.

   

  Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and remaining crushed grahams. Voila!

I love Hungry Girl.  I've been DVRing her show.  Love it.

Rain Diva and Tamara,  may I make a suggestion for you both?  These are really good receipes and I had an idea that others might like to have them.  Maybe think about putting them on the main mb.  It's just an idea now that we're into the fall season and apples being plentiful.
