Apple pie is an ol’ favourite and mixed with a cheesecake base is even more memorable. Top with apple for added crunch.

Ingredients

Biscuits, jam tartlet

12 individual

Green apple, unpeeled

2 large, thinly sliced, plus 1/2 unpeeled, in matchsticks

Ground cinnamon

½ tsp

Brown sugar

1 tbs

97% fat-free cottage cheese

250 g

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C or 140°C fan-forced. Line a 12-hole, ⅓-cup (80ml) capacity muffin tin with foil cases. Place biscuits, jam-side up, in base of cases.
  2. Place apple, half the cinnamon and 1½ tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 6–8 minutes or until apple is just tender. Gently stir in brown sugar. Remove from heat and cool. Spoon apple mixture into prepared cases.
  3. Process cheese, yoghurt, caster sugar, flour and vanilla in a food processor until smooth. Add egg and beat until combined. Spoon yoghurt mixture over apple mixture and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon.
