How much sugar is too much? Caramel Apple Cake Recipe


A Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Medicine Go Down

But how much sugar is too much?

Mary Poppins suggests a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down, but how much sugar is too much? On average, an adolescent consumes 34 teaspoons of sugar, or 500 calories worth each day.

Parents can help children limit sugar intake to the recommended 6.5 teaspoons per day by avoiding cookies and candies, and instead serving sugar free or no sugar added sweets such as those made from Sans Sucre Baking Mixes. Sans Sucre, meaning “sugar free” in French, produces a line of guilt-free baking mixes in four varieties from coffee cakes to brownies.
“Children generally love sweet treats, but parents want to be health conscious. We created our Sans Sucre line of mixes for healthy eaters who still want to enjoy great tasting desserts,” said Steve Bernard chief executive officer of Bernard Food Industries.

By replacing sugary snacks and desserts, children and adults alike are consuming less sugar which lowers the risk of diabetes, heart disease and, most commonly, body fat. The Sans Sucre recipe below is a sugar free dessert that all can enjoy.
Caramel Apple Cake
1 fresh apple chopped, peeled and cored
2 boxes Sans Sucre Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake baking mix
1 cup water
1 egg
4 tablespoons all-natural applesauce
1 cup sugar-free caramel
Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare 8”x8” pan by lightly greasing or spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Chop apple into chunks.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely. Drizzle sugar-free caramel over top of cake. Store covered.
