Low Sugar Apple Cake Recipes

SKINNY FRESH APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, beat sugars, buttermilk, oil, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 20 to 30 seconds or until blended. Add all remaining ingredients except apples and walnuts; beat on low speed about 1 minute or until blended. Stir in apples and walnuts. Spread batter in pan.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on cooling rack 1 hour.

LOW SUGAR APPLE CRUMBLE (APPLE CRISP)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 deg fan assisted. I always use fan assisted oven and use a thermometer to make sure it reaches the correct temperature. TIP: Every oven is different, so if using a conventional oven you may need to increase the temp a little, approx 20 deg. Just make sure it reaches 180 deg as this is what I baked the crumble at.
• Wash and core the apples, no need to peel them, then cut them into chunks about ½ cm in size. Toss the apples in the cinnamon until every piece of apple is coated and flavoured with the cinnamon spice.
• Place the apples into a shallow pie dish about 8 inches in diameter and 2inch deep.
• In a separate bowl, add all the crumble ingredients. Using your finger tips rub the mixture together until you have a rough crumble mixture with not too many large chunks of butter, a few is fine.
• Pour the crumble mix over the top of the apples. Create a slight well around the edges of the pie dish. This will allow for pools of apple juice to collect rather than spill over the sides of the pie dish.
• Bake in the centre of the oven for 30 - 35 mins or until you have a nice golden topping with a few juices bubbling on the side. There may not be too many juices because of the lack of sugar in the apple mixture.
• Allow the crumble to cool before serving with custard, ice cream or thick whipped cream.

HEALTHY APPLE CAKE (LOW-FAT, LOW-SUGAR RECIPE)

Steps:

• Preparations: Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C. Grease and flour the springform.
• Prepare apples: Peel and remove the cores. Cut the apples into small cubes. Set aside.
• Wet ingredients: Beat the eggs and the sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.
• Dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Carefully fold the flour into the egg mixture. Do not over mix.
• Batter: Fold the chopped apples into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Topping: Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle this mixture over the batter in the pan.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden. A toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake should come out clean.
• Rest the cake for 10-15 minutes, take it out of the tin and serve either warm or at room temperature (Note 2).

3-INGREDIENT APPLESAUCE (NO SUGAR ADDED)

Steps:

• To a medium saucepan (see notes for Instant Pot instructions) add peeled chopped apples, cinnamon, a dash of water (~2-3 Tbsp / 30-45 ml as original recipe is written), and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Stir.
• Cover and cook over medium heat until it simmers, then reduce heat to low / medium-low and continue cooking until the apples are very tender and slightly caramelized - about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Use the back of a wooden spoon or potato masher to mash into a loose sauce. You could also blend with an immersion blender, in a food processor or high-speed blender for smoother texture (optional) - a helpful step if you left the skins on. Add a dash of maple syrup or sugar of choice to sweeten (optional - depends on sweetness of your apples).
• Enjoy fresh, or store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month. Enjoy cold or reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat until hot (add more water as needed if dry).
