Looking for a sweet yet healthy treat this fall? Then you have to try this 2-Ingredient Healthy Apple Cloud Cake! Made with just two simple ingredients and super easy to whip up, it’s the best no-bake dessert you’ll be happy to have in your back pocket.
With only two ingredients — applesauce and gelatin — this might be the least complicated apple cake recipe ever. All you have to do is dissolve some gelatin in applesauce, then whip, whip, and whip until the mixture is very pale in color and looks like whipped egg whites or whipped cream. Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined baking pan and chill in the fridge until set. For a decorative finish, sprinkle the top with a pinch of ground cinnamon; this is totally optional, though.

To make the 2-Ingredient Healthy Apple Cloud Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
To line a 9-inch square pan, cut two sheets of parchment paper long enough to cover the bottom and extend over the sides of the pan. Place one sheet vertically and the other horizontally to fully line the pan; the overhang will serve as handles later.
To a large heat-proof mixing bowl, add 1 ⅔ cups applesauce. Sprinkle 4 ½ teaspoons gelatin over the top. Whisk until fully incorporated, the gelatin will thicken the applesauce.
To dissolve gelatin, you can use either the double boiler method or the microwave at low wattage. For the double boiler, fill a medium saucepan with about ½ inch of water and bring it to a simmer. Place the bowl with the applesauce mixture on top without it touching the water. Whisk the applesauce mixture to dissolve the gelatin as it warms. Avoid boiling the mixture and stir just until the gelatin dissolves and the applesauce is warm and liquid again.
Pour the applesauce mixture into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer (or leave the mixture in its bowl if using a hand mixer) and let cool for about 5 minutes.
Whip the applesauce mixture with a wire whisk attachment on high speed for about 15 minutes, until soft peaks form and it turns almost white, resembling whipped cream.
Scoop the whipped applesauce mixture into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to smooth out the surface. Be careful not to deflate it.
Chill in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours to set.
To check if the cake is set, gently peel the edge of the cake back from the parchment paper. The cake should be solid enough to let you peel the parchment away. If it's set, lift the edges of the parchment paper to remove the entire cake from the pan. Using a large, sharp knife, slice the cake. Enjoy!
