Who grew up with stewed fruit for dessert?
A healthier option is to steam them and drop the sugar - most fruit is after all sweet enough.
Favorite combinations:

• Apricots & apple
• Apple & raspberries (only a small portion of raspberries needed)
• Feijoa & Apple

Steamed sugar-free fruit is a fantastic evening dessert served hot or cold and if made in bulk can be a healthy addition to your breakfast to naturally sweeten cereal. 
Method
Add chopped fruit to a saucepan with just a little water (about 2 tbsp).  Heat gently and the initial steam from the water will release the juices from the fruit. Gently simmer so they're heated through and to the texture you prefer.  Serve with a dollop of greek yoghurt, icecream (if you must) or a sprinkle of muesli. 

What did you have for breakfast?  Coffee and a muffin.  That sounds so much healthier than Coffee & Cake but there's not much of a difference.

The base of both is usually butter(or oil) and sugar with an egg some flour, raising agents and a selection of flavoring ingredients ranging from dried fruit, seeds, cocoa, chocolate etc.

Life can throw lots of obstacles in the way of doing exercise - the weather, child minding, safety after dark etc.  But there are ways you can blend your exercise with your entertainment.
For a year or more while I had young children I resorted to my old-familiar (and basic) step aerobics while watching Ellen or a guilty-pleasure reality TV show. The step cost very little and slid under a bed while not in use.
Tied to a regular show it becomes a new habit - the show and the exercise go hand in hand. Alternatively you can use ad breaks for more intense exercise.
