1 Tbsp Chelsea Honey Maple or Maple Flavoured Syrup
60ml (1/4 cup) water

Combine apples, rind, Chelsea LoGiCane™ Low GI cane sugar, syrup, water and cinnamon stick in large pan, stir over low heat, without boiling, until sugar is dissolved. Bring to boil, simmer, uncovered, about 6 - 7 minutes or until apples are just tender, stirring occasionally. Drain apples, discard cinnamon and syrup, and allow to cool. Combine apples and almonds in bowl, mix gently.
