“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” And, though apples are delicious and crisp eaten fresh, their sweetness and tanginess makes them perfect for desserts as well. We all love the classic apple pie and apple crumble, maybe even with a scoop of real vanilla ice-cream. They’re classics for a reason, but this season it’s time to spruce things up and try something new. With that being said, here are a few mouthwatering apple dessert ideas.
Plus, with all the health benefits, you can sure count these towards your daily portion of fruit and veg. Apples are loaded with fibre, which helps prevent type 2 diabetes and protect against parkinson’s. Though there are over 2,500 varieties of apples grown in the United States (around 7,500 varieties are grown worldwide), make sure you grab the Red Delicious or Granny Smith to maximize your antioxidant intake.
1. Cheesecake-Stuffed Baked Apples
This 6-ingredient recipe from Creme de la Crumb is simple and easy, yet brilliant and delicious. You get the best flavor if you devour them warm, but there is no harm in keeping them in the fridge for a day or two either. The nice thing about this recipe is that, although it only calls for 6 ingredients, you can easily customize it with your toppings. This recipe calls for graham crackers, caramel sauce, and pecans, but ice-cream, cinnamon streusels, and honey probably won’t go wrong, either.
2. Apple Dessert Pizza
Your family and friends won’t believe you when you say it’s pizza for dessert! Follow Carpe Season’s recipe to bring fun to any party with this gigantic sugar cookie topped with peanut butter, cream cheese, and apple. Caramel sauce and crunchy peanut toppings bring it all together.
3. Apple Pie Shake
Who says shakes are reserved for breakfast? Unlike the traditional apple pie, there is no baking included and all you need for this recipe from Chelsea’s Messy Apron is a blender. This is a lower calorie option that you should be able to whip up in no time.
4. Apple Roses
You will need a steady hands for these delicate apple rose tarts, but you’ll be sure to score extra points with your date. This recipe from Cooking with Manuela uses a lot of pantry staples, and if you’re using store-bought puff-pastry like the recipe calls for, the preparation will be done in less than 30 minutes.
5. Candied Apple Ile Flottante
A delicate French dessert recipe, this literally means “floating island” and describes a light meringue on sweet and rich candied apple creme. Canelle Vanille’s recipes might require a couple of attempts, as they aren’t necessarily for beginners. The question is: Can you master the creme?
6. Apple Crisp Ice Cream
Yes, this is real cinnamon apple crisp with crunchy streusels chopped up and folded into homemade ice-cream. If you can resist the urge to eat the apple crisp all up while it’s warm, you’ll be rewarded with Barefeet In The Kitchen’s delicious ice-cream. You won’t regret it.
7. Apple Dippers Bar
Get everyone involved in this dessert activity. The secret to this recipe is all in the preparation, which you can easily do the day before. Make three dipping sauces: caramel, chocolate, and peanut butter, and serve them with a selection of toppings, from coconut flakes and salted nuts to mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. And why not have two to three different apple types also to fully customize this apple dipping bar?
With all these great recipes, you’ll be sure to find the right one for you. Don’t be shy to further modify these recipes and add your own favorite ingredients to fully make them your own. Bon appetit!
