Tfah A Moroccan Apple Dessert

---

As a low-fat chef i am always looking for desserts which are interesting and flavorful without lots of butter. :) here tart apples are candied in a syrup scented with cinnamon and orange blossom water, two flavors typical of north african cuisine. I have not tried this one but it looks scrumptious. (t'fah is the arabic word for apple.)
