Someone please help...im looking for a recipe for apple kugel or muffins that doesnt call for cups of sugar. It doeant have to be crazy healthy, just something that I can offer to my family as a filling snack, that isnt loaded with empty calories. Literally every recipe I find is loaded with sugar...looking for something with less.
Thanks in advance!

Why don’t you cut out some of the sugar?
I use some unsweetened applesauce instead of some of the oil to reduce fat and I find that it sweetens a little.
Also cinnamon brings out the flavor.

I would probably use 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 oil changed to applesauce
Cinnamon sprinkled on apples

If it’s still not sweet enough you can make a crumb topping with artificial sweetener, cinnamon, oil and ground nuts

I also never add sugar to the apples themselves and always use canola oil in the base and crumbs. no need for margarine.

There is a delicious recipe here for pear and apple kugel.
You can modify it and cut down on the sugar.

Thank you everyone. Ive always been nervous to just reduce the sugar in a recipe in case it would alter the texture or something but I guess ill play around with it

Make an apple crisp or crumble using nuts and honey or maple syrup.

Or try something like this.
