Caramel Apple Dessert Or Side-dish

Caramel Apple Dessert provides a bit of sweetness to any meal without the calories and saturated fat of apple pie and other high calorie desserts.

I originally came across this recipe while filming an episode of Fast Food OR for my YouTube Channel featuring a frozen meatloaf meal included caramel apples. But you got a lot more than apples and sugar with their dessert. The ingredients for the apples included:

• Apples (citric an ascorbic acid to retain color)
• Water
• Brown sugar
• Sweet cream powder (cream, nonfat milk, sodium caseinate)
• Vanilla flavor (water, propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, natural and artificial flavors)
• Corn syrup
• Caramel flavor (propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, natural flavors, artificial flavors, water, caramel color)

And that is just the apple dessert’s ingredients. The ingredients for the complete meatloaf meal contains dozens of additives found only in prepared foods.

What appeared to be a small serving of caramel apples turned out to be about one tablespoon (15 ml) full.

You do not need propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, or artificial flavors to may this simple caramel apple recipe. All you need are pieces of real, fresh apple in a slightly sweet caramel sauce.
