Which Applebee's Dessert to Order
Already full? The Brownie Bite. It's $2.49, 330 calories and 34g of sugar. Most people ordering dessert here have just eaten a 1,000-calorie entrée, and a 910-calorie cake on top of that is a second dinner. The Brownie Bite is dessert, not another meal.
Want the famous one? The Triple Chocolate Meltdown, split. It's the dessert Applebee's is known for, and it's big enough for two. Halved, it's 455 calories and about 44g of sugar each, which is closer to a normal dessert.
Celebrating? The Sizzling Caramel Apple Blondie. It arrives hot on a skillet and makes noise. For a birthday, that's the point.
Every Applebee's Dessert
Triple Chocolate Meltdown
A warm chocolate cake with a molten fudge center and vanilla ice cream, and what most people mean when they say Applebee's lava cake. Crack the side with a spoon and the fudge runs out. The ice cream isn't decoration: cold vanilla against hot fudge is what stops it being one long note of sweet.
The numbers are big. 910 calories, 87g of sugar, 116g of carbohydrate and 25g of saturated fat. It has more sugar than anything else in our data, more than a frozen Mucho Margarita (75g). It's heavier than a 6 oz. Top Sirloin. Sodium, though, is only 640mg, low for this menu.
- $8.99 · 910 calories · 87g sugar · contains milk, eggs, wheat and soy
Brownie Bite
A small warm brownie. It's the cheapest thing on the dessert menu by $6.50 and the lightest by 580 calories. At 190mg of sodium, it has less sodium than anything else in our nutrition data except a side of kids applesauce.
- $2.49 · 330 calories · 34g sugar · contains milk, eggs, wheat and soy
Sizzling Caramel Apple Blondie
A warm blondie topped with cinnamon apples and vanilla ice cream, served on a hot skillet with caramel poured over at the table. The caramel hits the iron and bubbles, which is the part people remember. It's the heaviest and most expensive dessert. Not every restaurant carries it, so ask.
- $9.49 · 990 calories
Sugar Outside the Dessert Menu
Dessert isn't the only place the sugar is. Two savory dishes beat the Brownie Bite:
| Item | Sugar |
|---|---|
| Triple Chocolate Meltdown | 87g |
| Frozen Mucho Margarita | 75g |
| Oriental Chicken Salad (crispy) | 45g |
| Four Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken | 44g |
| Brownie Bite | 34g |
So if you're counting sugar across a whole meal, the salad or the drink can matter more than dessert. Pair the Meltdown with black coffee or unsweetened iced tea, not a frozen cocktail, which would add most of another dessert's worth of sugar. Every figure is in the nutrition guide.
Allergens
Both desserts with allergen data, the Meltdown and the Brownie Bite, contain milk, eggs, wheat and soy. We don't have data for the Blondie. There's no dairy-free, gluten-free or vegan dessert that we know of. The allergen menu has everything we track.
Desserts To Go
They don't travel well. Each of them depends on hot against cold, and a takeout box ruins that: the molten center sets as it cools and the ice cream melts. The Brownie Bite holds up best and reheats in a few seconds. Eat the Meltdown at the table.
