I modified the recipe by cutting up bringing to a boil, then simmering two johnna gold apples in about two cups of water (or until they were covered, with roughly an inch of water they were floating on) and using cinnamon bark instead of cinnamon... It tasted pretty stinkn good... I'm not sure what the calorie count would be on this, but my guess is it would still be less than 60 calories...
