CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Apple iCobbler
The Apple of Our Eye
Attention, Fiber One skeptics! We DARE you to try this recipe and not love it.
Okay, if you're absolutely opposed to using F1 for baking, leave it out and
double the graham cracker amount instead (each serving will then have 141
calories, 1g fat, 2.25g fiber and a POINTS® value of 2*). BTW, try spooning
some of this stuff on top of light vanilla ice cream or yogurt... IT ROCKS!!!
Ingredients:
3 cups peeled apple chunks (any sweet, not tart, variety)
1/2 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original)
2 sheets (8 crackers) low-fat honey graham crackers
2 tbsp. fat-free liquid egg substitute
2 tbsp. no-sugar-added applesauce
3 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated), divided
2 tbsp. brown sugar (not packed)
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. cinnamon, divided
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine 2/3 cup of cold water with brown
sugar, cornstarch, 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and 1 tbsp. of
the Splenda. Stir well. In a medium-sized pot, combine apple chunks with
this mixture. Heat the apple mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once liquid thickens to a syrupy consistency and begins to bubble, reduce
heat to low and cover. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes, and then transfer
mixture to a medium-sized round baking dish. Set aside. Next, break graham
crackers into small pieces. Place graham pieces and Fiber One in a blender
or food processor, and grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer
crumbs to a microwave-safe dish, and add egg substitute, applesauce, 1 1/2
tsp. of cinnamon, and the remaining 2 tbsp. of Splenda. Stir well. Microwave
graham mixture for 1 minute. Use a fork to break up the toughened mixture
as much as possible, and then allow it to cool for a few minutes. Transfer
graham mixture to a food processor or blender, and pulse until crumbly and
uniform. Evenly distribute graham topping over apple mixture. Place the dish
in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes. Allow cobbler to cool slightly before
serving. MAKES 4 SERVINGS

FIGHT IT!
Apple Cobbler, Average
An Apple Astray...
We're obsessed with all things "apple" here at the HG HQ. We hook our Apple
iPods up to our Apple iMacs and download songs and TV shows from Apple
iTunes! One of the very FEW apple no-nos here in HG-land, however, has
been apple cobbler. While we think a piping hot, gooey apple dessert packed
with brown sugar and topped with a sweet, cinnamony crumb topping is
something worth going after, we're not on board with spending over 400
calories and nearly 20 fat grams on a single serving of the stuff. Forget it!
Enter our latest guilt-free creation -- HG's Apple iCobbler! Compatible with all
ovens...
