Ingredients

　　2 medium-size firm cooking apples, peeled, cored, and grated

　　1/2 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds

　　3 tablespoons stone-ground whole-wheat flour

　　4 packets fructose sweetener

　　1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

　　2 tablespoons butter

　　Combine the apples, nuts, flour, fructose sweetener, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix and form into 4 patties. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the patties, and cook until firm and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn them over carefully, and cook until browned on the other side, about 5 minutes more.
