Step 1
Start by warming a small skillet over low heat and give it a light spray of cooking spray. Toss in the apples, sprinkle a pinch of salt, and let them heat through for a minute or two. Drizzle some lemon juice over the apples and give everything a good toss to coat. Next, stir in the raisins, cinnamon, and your choice of sweetener. Keep cooking the mixture gently until the apples are tender enough to easily poke with a fork, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. If things start to look too dry, splash in a little water to keep it from sticking.
