A good CORE thickner would be guar gum or arrowroot flour. I use guar gum all the time & love it!

Where do you get it and how food grade is it? I used a lot of stuff sold as bioguar many years back --> that was just incredible. It dissolved like a dream, and was practically tasteless too. You could turn a cup of nonfat milk into into six cups of firmly whipped cream. Never mind that it was all air --> that you would ultimately burp enough wind to blow a sailboat from L. A. to Catalina --> the richness and the mouth feel were right there, and right on target.

Now that I'm cooking more again, went out and bought some guar gum from a local health foods store recently. It it was so awful, I immediately threw it out. My old pusher from years ago (a middleman processing lab up in Santa Barbara) has since disappeared. I need a good recommendation and source, so I can stock up again.

Lily, I buy my guar gum in a healthy food store & love it. You only need a wee bit to thicken. I have made fruit syrups from fresh fruit that I cooked down & strained & it was glossy , thick & delicious! I prefer it over cornstarch.
As to what food grade it is, I have no idea. I bought this when I was on low carb.

That's funny...the recipe I have for your Spicy Apples (got it from the Weight Watcher's forum) also has 3 tbsp sf ff butterscotch pudding mix...gives it a caramel flavor, very good on oatmeal.
