Apple Cranberry Tart
Disclosure: I made a delicious Apple Cranberry Tart recipe using SPLENDA® Sweetener Products as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SplendaSweeties #SweetSwaps. All opinions are my own.
The holidays can be one of the hardest times of the year for people who have to watch the amount of sugar they are eating.
Anyone who has ever been on a diet during the holidays knows exactly what I mean. Sweets and treats surround us during the "happiest time of the year".
Many recipes like an easy Apple Cranberry Tart can be made using SPLENDA® Sweetener Products.
The Sweet Swaps program is dishing out hundreds of ways to save calories by swapping full sugar for SPLENDA® Sweeteners.
SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend is a perfect Sweet Swap for fall-flavored dessert recipes like this Apple Cranberry Tart recipe that calls for brown sugar.
SPLENDA® Sweetener Products can be swapped with sugar for all those sweet recipes during the holidays. What I love the most about SPLENDA® Sweeteners is that they can be used in all my holiday baking, cooking, and beverage mixing without the worry of extra calories.
Now all of my holiday guests, even the ones who have to monitor the amount of sugar they consume can still enjoy a holiday dessert recipe.
