1 tablespoon milk

1 tablespoon butter

ungreased baking sheet. One by one, weave 11 more strips through parallel strips to

create lattice square. Cut out center of lattice with a 4 or 5-inch heart-shaped cookie

cutter or stencil and discard trimmings. Refrigerate heart 10 minutes.

Heat oven to 400 deg. F. Brush hearts with egg mixture and bake 15 minutes or

until golden brown. In skillet, melt butter and add apple slices, sugar and

cinnamon. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until tender. Stir

in one tablespoon of jam.

To serve, blend yogurt and water. Divide mixture between two large serving plates.

Mound apple slices in center. Dip edges of each heart into confectioner's sugar and

place atop apples.

To make heart-shaped designs in the sauce, heat remaining jam in microwave for

thirty seconds. Drop dots of jam onto sauce. Drag a toothpick tip through center of

each dot to make heart.
