EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Close With these desserts, you can rely on nutritious apples to be the source of sweetness. Each of these dishes has no added sugar or has options for sugar-free substitutes to replace the sugar that would normally be used. Either way, you'll make delicious desserts that align with your goals. Recipes like our Apple "Donuts" and Apple Crumble with Oats are pleasantly sweet treats you'll want to make again and again. 01 of 10 Healthy Apple Crisp View Recipe There's nothing like this old-fashioned apple dessert recipe to top off a good dinner.

Great for lunchboxes or as a snack, homemade dried apples are easy to make in the oven and are high in fiber and nutrients. To retain the fiber from the peels and to save time, we skip the step of peeling the apples first. We also skip coring—the star-shaped core makes a pretty shape in the center of each dried apple. For crispy apple chips, bake the apples about 1 hour more. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
