Ingredients:
- 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 1-2 tablespoons granulated low-calorie sweetener (e.g., erythritol, Stevia, or a sugar substitute with WW SmartPoints in mind)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, low-calorie sweetener, ground cinnamon, and salt. Adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste and WW SmartPoints allowance.
- Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss them in the sweetener mixture until all nuts are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden and fragrant. Be sure to check them occasionally to prevent burning.
- Once done, remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet.
- After the nuts have cooled, break them apart if needed and transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
