A very tasty pineapple dessert

Yesterday I heard something in the kitchen that sounded like a rifle shot. I went in to look, and the lid on the fresh pineapple had blown off! Yes, it was getting a little long in the tooth. So I made a dessert.

Cut up whatever fresh, but overly ripe, pineapple you have and put on low heat with a couple of Tablespoons of butter. While that starts to simmer, add two cut up peeled and cored apples. Sprinkle with some Splenda, or sugar if you can have that. Cover with lid and let it simmer for as long as you want--but pineapple doesn't really soften much.

Then look in the frig. Mix half and half (or milk) with some flour and Splenda until smooth, then add an egg and whip. When the fruit mixture is soft and juicy, mix in the flour/milk/Splenda, stir while it thickens, then take the sauce pan off the stove to cool. Serve cold or warm with a little sugar free Cool-Whip, or eat plain. It's really yummy. Sort of pineapple pie filling without the crust.
