Time:

INGREDIENTS:

4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced 

4 slices reduced calorie whole wheat bread or multi-grain bread, lightly toasted 

2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar 

1 teaspoon cinnamon 

2 teaspoons reduced calorie margarine

 

PREPARATION:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degreed F; spray a 1 1/2 quart shallow casserole with nonstick cooking spray. Place half of the apples in the casserole. 

2. In a food processor or blender, process the toast to coarse crumbs*. Transfer to a small bowl; combine with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half the mixture over the apples, then layer the remaining apples and crumb mixture. Dot with the margarine; add 1/3 cup water. 

Bake until the top is crispy and the fruit is bubbling, about 45 minutes. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of FF Cool Whip!

 

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

This low-fat take on the traditional crumb-topped cake is a snap to make. It can be easily halved - or even quartered, for solitary sumptuousness!

Pineapple Buttermilk Sherbet 2 pts per serving

QUANTITY/SERVINGS:

8

BAKE/COOK (time and temperature):

 

Date:

07 Feb 2003

Time:

10:59:20

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups fat-free buttermilk (or regular buttermilk) 

2 cups undrained canned crushed pineapple (20 ounce can) 

2/3 cup sugar (or Splenda)

 

PREPARATION:

1. In a bowl, stir together the buttermilk, pineapple, and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. 

2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. 

3. After about an hour, when the mixture has begun to harden, stir it with a fork until it becomes slushy. 

4. Cover and return to the freezer for another hour or two, until it is very stiff but not frozen solid. 

5. Stir it again with a fork and serve. 

6. If the sherbet has frozen hard, remove it from the freezer to soften for about 30 minutes before serving or whirl it in a food processor, scraping down the sides several times, for about 2 minutes, until well blended and smooth. (Place in a metal 9 x 13 cake pan to make it set up faster. Recipe is suitable to use with strawberries or raspberries :)

 

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

This simple and delightful sherbet requires no special ice cream-making equipment - just a fork. It has a tangy flavor and gives the illusion of rich creaminess. The sherbet will keep, stored in an airtight container in the freezer, for 1 to 2 weeks.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

I made this and it is wonderful 

I put a little bit (1 tsp) of chocolate syrup on each piece of cake, you could decorate with a maraschino cherry if you wish. Add additional pts for chocolate sauce and cherry. I needed something sweet and comforting. Love, Mamie

1/4 cup egg substitute (equal to one egg) 

1 can (11.oz.) mandarin oranges, drained

That "meringue crust" is what we used to call Pavlova. It was a crust of baked sweetened meringue that my mother would fill with vanilla pudding right before serving and top with fresh fruit. It was named for the famous Russian ballerina.
