Ingredients

  • 6 cups sliced peeled Golden Delicious apple
  • Sugar substitute equivalent to 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 slices reduced-calorie whole wheat bread
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup fat-free whipped cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat whipped topping

Directions

  • Place apple slices in a bowl. Combine sugar substitute and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples and toss to coat evenly. Place bread in a food processor; cover and process until fine crumbs form. In an small bowl, combine bread crumbs and butter until blended.
