Yes, homemade applesauce can be a low carb dessert! 1.) Don't peel the apples. Simply core and cut them into 8 slices. 2.) Add them to a saucepan with ½ cup / 120 ml of water. 3.) Add 2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Option to add a pinch of nutmeg and / or a squeeze of lemon juice. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract also works well here. 4.)
Lightly grease insides of pan with cooking spray. Whisk together oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs, whisking until smooth. Add applesauce, vanilla, and Greek yogurt. Mix until well-combined. Combine flours, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and stir with wet ingredients until just combined–don’t over-mix.
