Apple Zoodle Dessert

I love my spiral slicer. So far, I’ve used it for making great side dishes or salads and a few main dishes. I was intrigued when I first came across this idea for a low-carb dessert that is made using a spiral slicer. What a brilliant idea – apple zoodle dessert! Great apple flavor and crunch, a hint of cinnamon, and topped with toasted coconut flakes.

Apple Zoodle Dessert

I used a Gala apple for making this dessert, but you can substitute whatever you like. Of course, it being a dessert you’ll probably want to use a sweeter apple, such as golden delicious, pink lady, red delicious or Fuji.

This apple zoodle dessert pairs perfectly with my Parmesan chicken zoodles.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Stuffing

Wow, this grilled pork tenderloin with apples and stuffing turned out great. Although the original recipe called for baking bone-in pork chops, I knew that grilling a marinated pork tenderloin would result in a more tender, juicy dish. We’re big fans of pork tenderloin in this house. When they go on sale, I go to the store and grab a few packs (there are two in a package).

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Stuffing

The topping is great. It reminds you of eating apple pie and turkey stuffing at the same time. Almost like it was Thanksgiving. The slight sweetness of the apple pie really goes really well with the apple-flavored pork.
