I started out looking for a healthy apple dessert recipe. We still have an abundance of fresh apples. And apple crisp couldn't be it, as I just made that the other day, and I can only do oats every once in a while. I found many really delicious-looking apple goodies. My two favorites were Apple Fritter Bread and Apple Pie Squares. But both had way too much sugar and/or fat for what I was looking for.
I may still try to make an apple-filled cinnamon swirl bread this weekend. I could do that with less sugar, and yeast breads can get by with less fat than most baking powder-leavened treats or pie pastry goodies.
But what I ended up going with was a batch of mini cookies, and I served those with apple slices from our surplus of apples. Although chocolate chip cookies don't sound like they're in the same league as a fruit-based dessert, because these are mini cookies (using the small cookie scoop), each one has a relatively small amount of added sugar and fat. The addition of fresh apple slices make the cookies a healthy choice in my mind. And yes, I did just have 1 cookie with my fresh apple slices.
I still have lots and lots of fresh apples to use. What are your favorite apple desserts? Bonus points if it's a healthy dessert.
