Ingredients

6 cups sliced peeled Golden Delicious apples
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.

Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Bake 25-30 minutes longer or until apples are tender and crumb topping is golden brown.
In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in half of the whipped topping. Fold in remaining whipped topping. Serve with Apple Brown Betty. Yield: 6 servings.

This sounds delicious. There must be a misprint though... Analysis says 1 serving = 1 rounded TBSP. To me, that's an awful small serving! (at 134 calories and 3g fat per TBSP, a 1/4 cup would be about 500 cal and 12g fat!) The recipe says 6 servings from an 8x8 pan! There must be more than 6 rounded TBSPNS in the finished product!
