terry1118 1,274 Posted September 17, 2013 I went Apple picking tiday ans now trying to find healthy ideas of things to bake usually its all for apple pies lol gonna try some cinnamon apple chips SW 363lbs Surg Date 4/16/2013 CW 287lbs I make apple crisp with splenda blend brown sugar and oatmeal topping w/chopped pecans. It may still have too much sugar. Maybe try a baked apple! You peel it, core it, stuff it (any combo of fruit and nuts with splenda brown sugar), and bake it. You could also try an apple tart - can it be improvised w/whole grain flat bread, I wonder?). Thinly slice peeled apples and layer on the flat bread, maybe brush it w/a complementary flavor of sugar-free jam or jelly? Home made chunky applesauce is a simple way to get apple pie flavor without all the fat and sugar. Make w/a little cinnamon, nutmeg, and splenda (I like to add dried cranberries and chopped pecans to it). You could even top it w/a little lite or fat-free cool whip. :-) Lookup the recipes and improvise - change to low sugar, low fat ingredients. Be creative! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kraney 219 Posted September 17, 2013 Anyone tried whole grain Pasta yet ? Haven't tried whole grain, but I've had Dreamfields low carb pasta. I've done ok with it. I eat such a small amount. For example 6-8 pieces of rotini or penne. Sometimes I don't even finish that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pebulz 135 Posted September 18, 2013 I love apple chips! How do you make em from the real apples!? I sliced them thin and then sprinkled them with cinnamon and baked for 3hrs on 200º but I'm gonna try raising the oven temp next time a little to see if they get crispier....it was my first time making them but they were so good and my 2 year old loved them too lol SW 363lbs Surg Date 4/16/2013 CW 286lbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
