Servings 8
Equipment
Ingredients
For The Crust
- 1.5 Cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- 1/2 Cup Light Whipped Butter or Light Butter
- 1/4 Cup Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener
For The Filling
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener
- 1.5 Cups Fat Free Cottage Cheese (Drained)
- 3/4 Cup Light Sour Cream
- 7 Apples - 4 Small and 3 Medium (Granny Smith, Gala, Fuji or Honeycrisp) Peeled, Cored and Chopped
- 2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat pastry flour, softened light whipped butter or light butter, and 1/4 cup of monk fruit sweetener. Mix until crumbly and well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
- Place the non-fat cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl to drain excess liquid while preparing the crust.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs with 1/2 cup of monk fruit sweetener until light and fluffy. Add in the drained non-fat cottage cheese and light sour cream, mixing until smooth.
- Spread the chopped apples evenly over the crust in the baking pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the apples, then pour the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the apples.
- Before baking, taste a small amount of the filling mixture to assess sweetness. If you prefer a sweeter filling, add more monk fruit sweetener by tablespoon increments until desired sweetness is achieved. Mix well after each addition.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let it cool completely before slicing into bars.
- This makes 8 large sized bars. Each bar on Weight Watchers is only 6 WW Points. Enjoy!
