3 egg whites
3/4 cup pure maple syrup or 3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350*.
Prepare eight 6-ounce baking cups, such as custard cups or ramekins, with a light coating of cooking spray.
Arrange the cups in a shallow, flat-bottomed baking pan.
Whirl all of the ingredients except the apple slices in a blender until smooth.
Pour the custared into the baking cups.
Pour boiling water into the baking pan to about a 2-inch depth.
Bake for about 45 to 60 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
