I want a sweet treat that won’t blow my healthy eating plan. I want sweet, crunchy and over the top delicious.

Good news girlfriends! I found that treat and today I’m sharing the recipe with you, complete with pictures! It’s a great dessert to take to all those upcoming meals and parties. Everyone will want your recipe!

 

Ingredients

1 ½ cup (20 oz.) of crushed pineapple with juice

6 apples-I prefer Royal Gala

1 box of fat free, sugar free, instant vanilla pudding mix (or butterscotch)

1 tub of low fat cool whip

Place pineapple in a large bowl.

 

 

Core and cut apples into small pieces, leave peel on.

 

 

As you cut the apples add them to the pineapple. The pineapple will prevent the apples from turning brown. Stir apples and pineapple well.

 

Sprinkle ½ of the pudding mix over fruit and mix very well, until all the dry pudding is incorporated. Add the other ½ and mix well.

 

 

Gently fold in ½ of the cool whip, stir gently, then fold in the other ½.

 

 

Place in a covered bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Here’s the great news girlfriends! One cup of Candy Apple Dessert contains:
