    • Pureed low-fat cottage cheese and reduced-fat cream cheese turns into a rich-tasting but low-fat custard in this fall favorite.

    Ingredients

    Serves:

    Directions

    1. To make crust: Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray.

    2. Spread oats in a pie pan; bake until toasted, 7 to 15 minutes. Let cool. Process in a food processor until finely ground.

    3. Stir together ground oats, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Drizzle oil onto dry ingredients and mix with a fork or your fingers until crumbly. Use a fork to stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together.

    4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface; knead 7 to 8 times. Roll dough out into an 11-inch circle. Transfer the dough to prepared pan, pressing to fit. Trim edges. Prick bottom of the crust in a few places with a fork and line with foil or parchment paper. Fill with pie weights, dry beans or rice.

    5. Bake crust until firm, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove foil or parchment and weights; cool on a wire rack.

    6. To make filling: Mix 3 tablespoons sugar, lemon zest and juice and cinnamon in a bowl. Peel, core and cut apples lengthwise into 12 wedges each, tossing the apples in sugar mixture as you work. Arrange the apples in a single layer in prebaked crust and drizzle with any liquid from bowl. Place pan on a baking sheet and bake until the apples are tender but still hold their shape, 20 to 25 minutes.

    7. Meanwhile, puree cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth. Add cream cheese, egg, vanilla, salt and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar; process until smooth. Pour over the apples.

    8. Bake the tart until custard is set, 15 to 20 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.
