Apple Pie-Ricotta Toast image

This recipe gives an apple pie a healthy makeover! It replaces refined sugars, unhealthy fats, and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream with nutritious syrupy apples resting on top of a whole grain toast covered with creamy (and protein-rich) ricotta cheese. My daughter loves to wake up to the sight of this apple pie on her breakfast plate. Both my husband and I love this quick, easy, and absolutely mouthwatering treat as well.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon(s) canola oil
2 - large granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into thin wedges
1/4 cup(s) light agave nectar
1/4 cup(s) palm sugar
1/4 teaspoon(s) apple pie spice
1/4 cup(s) water
1 teaspoon(s) fresh-squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup(s) part-skim ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon(s) lemon peel
6 slice(s) (3/4 inch-thick) whole grain crusty bread, toasted

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat canola oil and add sliced apples. Saute on medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until apples start to soften.
  • Add agave nectar, palm, sugar, apple pie spice, lemon juice, and water and bring it to a boil. Simmer over low heat until the apples are tender and sauce is syrupy, about 10 minutes.
  • In a medium-size bowl, combine ricotta cheese with lemon zest.
  • Spread a generous amount of the ricotta-lemon peel mixture onto toasted bread slices. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the apples over it. Drizzle with the syrup. Serve immediately.
