20 Low-Calorie Apple Desserts That Feel Like Indulgences

Any fruit can make a delicious dessert, but perhaps none are as versatile as the apple. It matches warm spices like cinnamon, makes toasted nuts even tastier, and even suits savory additions like bacon.

Plus, apples can be diced for flavorful chunks, sliced paper thin as the perfect pie filling, or turned into a thick sauce that replaces fat in common baked goods (helping you cut down on the butter and oil).

There are countless varieties of apples, and all of them deliver the same health benefits: high fiber to lower cholesterol and stave off hunger, the antioxidant quercetin to strengthen your immune system, and decreased risk of health issues like Parkinson’s, diabetes 2, and cataracts.

But some types of apples are better for baking than others. In addition to classic Granny Smith, look for Braeburn, Fuji, Gala, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, and Rome Beauty, to name a few.

Apple Pie Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup quick oats

3/4 cup whole-wheat flour

Mini Apple Pie Cheesecakes

Instead of skimping on cheesecake with no-calorie sweeteners and fat-free dairy, go for the classic in an individually sized package. These are made in a standard muffin tin, so each one is just the right size.

Start by pressing the walnut graham cracker crust mixture in the bottom, and then pour in a simple filling of cream cheese, heavy cream, and apple butter. Then even more apples are added on top along with walnuts.

Serves 10

Crust:

1 1/4 cups graham crackers

1/3 cup chopped walnuts

3 Tbsp. granulated sugar

No-Sugar-Added Apple Tart

This apple tart will wow guests with presentation as long as you take some care when arranging the slices on top. But while it’s as pretty as a pie, this tart actually contains none of the sugar or butter you’d expect to find.

The crust is simply whole-wheat flour, coconut oil, and salt. And the filling is made with little more than fresh apples and cinnamon.

Serves 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour

1/4 tsp. fine sea salt

1/2 cup coconut oil

Mini Caramel Apples

Don’t be fooled by the apple hiding inside all the caramel – one of those candy-coated apples adds up to hundreds of calories. And a majority of that is from the caramel, which is pure sugar, butter, and cream.

These smaller portions are dipped in sticky dates instead and then finished with your garnish of choice: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, shaved chocolate, or cinnamon sugar.

Serves 6 / Makes 24

1 cup (about 12) pitted Medjool dates

Apple Pie Protein Ice Cream

This non-dairy frozen dessert doesn’t even need sugar or alternative sweeteners. All of the delicious flavor comes from fruit, almond butter, and spices – no ice cream maker required.

And hidden in the mix is vanilla protein powder, which means there’s three times the protein of traditional ice cream with lots of natural sweetness.

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 ripe banana, frozen

1 medium apple, diced and divided

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tsp. apple pie spice

Oatmeal-Stuffed Baked Apples

A healthy dessert doesn’t have to be hard to make. As long as you can chop an apple in half and turn on the oven, you can satisfy your sweet tooth with something made from scratch.

Apples are delicious when baked with no filling, but it doesn’t take much to upgrade them. Melt butter, and mix it into some flour, sugar, and oats to make a deconstructed apple crisp.

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 large apples, halved

2 Tbsp. butter, melted

Skinny Fried Apples

Apple pie filling is so good it doesn’t really need the crust. That’s basically the line of thinking behind this simple apple dessert, which comes together on the skillet in just a handful of minutes.

Roughly chop an apple, and stir together the other ingredients in a small bowl. Add the apples to the skillet first, and once they start to soften, stir ins the honey sauce.

These fried apples are good enough to eat alone or with yogurt.

Serves 1

1 apple, peeled and diced

Healthy Apple Crisp

Baking an apple crisp in a casserole dish will most likely leave you with a lot of extra servings around. This individually sized alternative ensures there are no tempting leftovers in the fridge.

It’s a big serving with apples and oats, so you can split it for a small dessert for two. Or, have the whole thing for breakfast. This apple crisp is also tasty à la mode, even if you choose Greek yogurt instead of ice cream.

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 medium apple, diced small

1/8 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. milk

1/2 tsp. apple pie spice (or cinnamon)

Apple Strudel Crepes

These apple crepes are amazing whether you want a healthy breakfast or protein-packed dessert. Unlike pancakes, they’re filled with the kind of delicious sweet stuff that’s normally slathered on top.

Inside the protein crepes is a mix of diced apples, Greek yogurt, raisins, and walnuts. And since there’s no added sugar in the recipe, it’s ok to drizzle a little syrup on top.

Serves 1

Ingredients

1/4 cup old-fashioned oats

1 packet stevia

1/2 cup egg whites

1 1/2 Tbsp. WHEY+ vanilla protein isolate

Apple Lasagna

This apple pie alternative uses lasagna noodles and cinnamon streusel instead of crust. There’s the familiar element of apple pie filling, which you can either make from scratch or use canned to save time. But this dessert lasagna adds a lot to the classic apple pie flavor.

Made in a style similar to a Rougemont apple cake, this pie is a real showstopper.

It has an astounding number of layers upon layers of thinly sliced apples, which are studded with raisins and walnuts. As if that’s not awesome enough, the crust is a little bready so this pie won’t get soggy and fall apart.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.

If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
