  • To reduce fat you can replace half the oil with unsweetened applesauce.
  • Pecans are high in potassium and phosphorus. The amount contributed to one piece is minimal as long as the recommended portion is followed. Otherwise you can reduce to 1/2 cup pecans or leave them out.

I think the sugar for the ice cream is also too much

Hi, I find that the sugar in the recipe is excessive. I have not tried it yet but 2 cups of sugar to 2 cups of flour in any recipe is really excessive. I would normally use in a recipe like that a quarter cup of sugar . The natural sweetness of the apples which would increase after cooking and cinnamon would add to the sweet flavour as well.
