5 Ingredient Recipe: Grilled Apples with Hazelnut-Maple Caramel

There I go again, another 5 Ingredient Recipe for my lovely readers, and it's a sugar-free desert this time! This one was a very spur-of-the-moment post, here's why:
If you have ever had supper with me, you would know that when I finish supper, I usually want to have a little something sweet to finish it off. It turns out, I'm the queen of throwing random ingredients together after dinner and making up a desert as I go. While I'm still working on emptying pantry items, I had a huge bag of apples that were starting to go bad. So I cut them up and grilled them, of course! I already had our George Foreman Grill (our awesome yard sale find!) set up from supper, so I used it again for desert. Why not! I wanted some sort of dip for them, and to the pantry I went. Maple syrup, hazelnut butter and cinnamon answered my call. This sweet yummy dish turned out to be extremely easy and sugar-free too!
I have to warn you, it doesn't photograph very well, and neither do I. It would seem that I need to do more collaborations with Myriam from Beauteoptic. And by collaborations, I mean using her photography skills for my blog. So, I'm sorry about the awful photo, but here is the turn out:

5 Ingredient Recipe: Spicy Artichoke Quesedillas

I have news: I will be moving to Ottawa in the spring! In preperation, we are trying to empty out our pantry as much as we can before the move. I'll be posting many recipes using ingredients from cans, jars, boxes and the freezer. Lately, I've also been attempting to make dishes with the least amount of ingredients possible.
This is the first post in an all-new series of recipes with 5 or less ingredients! (5 Ingredient Recipes) Easy peasy and super delicious are my goals for this new series. Being in a time-crunch or just plain lazy, these are fantastic!

I apologize for my awful photography skills, but here they are:
