A low-fat spin on a down-home traditional treat, this recipe sent in by Dale Hartman of Coventry, Rhode Island features a fraction of the sugar, fat and calories...but all the comforting taste of the original.

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.
Place half of apple mixture in an 8-in. square baking dish coated
with cooking spray. Top with about 1/3 cup crumb mixture and
remaining apple mixture. Pour orange juice over apples. Cover and

crumb mixture. Bake 25-30 minutes longer or until apples are tender
and crumb topping is golden brown.
