I am not sure if this is low-cal, but this is fairly popular in the Basque Country, and a favourite of mine for dinner parties. It can be done with either apples or pears:
Apples in wine:
Ingredients for 6 people: 6 apples, 1/2 litre of strong red wine, 2 cinnamon sticks, sugar, water.
Skin the apples and dice them in four. Pour in a pot the 1/2 litre of wine, 1/2 litre of water, and the cinnamon sticks. Submerge the apples in the wine mixture . Add sugar to taste. Bring it to boil in medium fire for 1/2 hr, until the apples are tender and red. Take the cinammon out, and let them cool down before serving. Serve the apples with the wine sauce.
