Whether you are looking to get out of that apple recipe rut or are looking for an apple dessert that is sure to wow, then this collection of 10 Unique Apple Desserts for Fall is definitely for you.









Now don't get me wrong, you all. I love a good classic apple pie or apple crisp as much as the next gal, but sometimes (especially when we have been weeks into apple season) I need some new & out of the box recipe ideas for apples. 







I have whipped up a batch of my Homemade Crock Pot Apple Butter, baked a couple of pies, made a crisp or two, but I still found myself with quite a few apples leftover from our annual apple picking pilgrimage. So, I decided to scour some of my favorite food blogs and gathered up some unique apple desserts for fall to share with you all today.

25 Waistline Friendly Holiday Treats

Treat yourself this holiday season without the guilt with these 25 Waistline Friendly Holiday Treats






The holiday season is definitely upon us, my friends. It seems to get ushered in each year with the start of the Black Friday sales and keeps right on going until the New Year. 




And while it is definitely one of my favorite times of the year, it is also that one time of year when I can be guaranteed to gain a least a few pounds before that ball drops on New Year's Eve. 




Honestly, it is hard not to.  With all the home baked cookies, and holiday dinners, and extra cocktails, and homemade fudge... well, we can all see how it adds up pretty quickly. 




But the holiday season is also no time for self deprivation.  I am all about moderation. So while I will still be treating myself to a few of my holiday guilty pleasures, I will also be balancing it out a bit with some of these waistline friendly holiday treats that I gathered to share with you all. Think of this as the "nice list" of Christmas sweets. ;) 




From quick desserts for one to homemade truffles to creamy dessert dips, you are sure to find a lower calorie, less guilt treat to curb those naughty holiday cravings a bit...
