I've been trying to cut back on my sugar intake lately, not just for myself, but for everyone else in the house because let's face it, sugar just isn't good for you. At all. I've always known that sugar isn't good for you, and like it is with most things that aren't good for you, you still have it regardless. It's very addictive. Just like it's not easy for someone to quit drinking or smoking, it can be just as hard to quit sugar.

I watched the documentary Fed Up on Netflix, and it really made me realise that I really needed to make some changes when it came to sugar in my diet.

I'm aiming to go sugar free eventually, that is added sugar, I don't plan on getting rid of fruits and vegetables that have natural sugar in them, I will just have them in moderation. The problem with this though, is that I have a very sweet tooth. I love my chocolate and my lollies, my cakes and desserts, and I know it's going to be very hard for me to get rid of these.

So one thing that I've been doing in the past few weeks is trying out recipes for desserts that contain no added sugar.

This has been the best recipe I've tried to date, and now I want to share it with you all.


A wonderful thin short crust pastry, filled with apples and cinnamon, it tastes just like apple pie but without the sugar! Add a dollop of freshly whipped cream and it's the perfect dessert.
