Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups 123g Old Fashioned Oats (ground)
  • 1 cup 225g 1% cottage cheese
  • 1 whole large egg
  • 3 tbsp 45g egg whites
  • 1 large apple
  • ¼ cup 40g of sweetener (monkfruit) https://amzn.to/3uV9ftG
  • 1 tsp 5g vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp butter

Method
 

  1. Start by slicing the Golden Delicious apple thinly.
  2. In a skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it begins to dissolve and form a caramel.
  3. Sprinkle in the cinnamon, then start layering the apple slices in the pan. Keep the heat low to prevent burning. You should hear a gentle sizzle as the apples begin to caramelize.
Prepare the Batter
  1. In a bowl, combine the finely ground oats with the wet ingredients: the egg, liquid egg whites, and cottage cheese.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and sweetener. Mix well until you have a smooth batter.
Assemble the Dessert
  1. Pour the batter evenly over the caramelized apples in the pan. Spread it out to cover the apples completely.
  2. Cover the pan and let it cook on low heat for about 25 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it to ensure the batter is setting and not burning.
  3. Once the batter feels set, it’s time to flip the dessert. This can be a bit tricky! Use a plate to carefully flip the dessert and then slide it back into the pan. Be gentle to avoid any sticking.
  4. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to brown the bottom.
  5. The caramelized apples should look golden and delicious, and the smell will be incredible.
