Apple Butter for Weight Loss

Want a sweet, lower calorie spread for your breakfast or snacking toast? Look no further than delicious apple butter. For about 30 calories per serving, it can plug-into your weight loss plan without issue. It is extremely minimal in dietary fat content, and offers just a tab or calcium benefits - as well as potassium.

It can also substitute well in that coffee cake recipe for vegetable oils that are more-often-than-not, recommended.

Diet Apple Recipe, ingredientSimply add cup per cup of the apple butter to the recommended amount of vegetable oil.

The recipe for homemade apple butter is boiled, smashed apples, ground cinnamon, and sugar - both white and brown sugars.

However, if you're expecting it to taste like the commercially prepared versions, it won't. It tends to be looser and it has a fresh burst of flavor - compared to the commercial brands that are more of a dark brown paste.
