Apple Cinnamon Ricotta

(Serves 1)

Ingredients

• 150 - 200g of no fat  ricotta cheese
• 1 Medium Apple, chopped into 1cm cubes 
• ¾ Cup of boiling water
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 1 Tablespoon of Simply fiber
• 2 Tablespoons of baking sweetener e.g. Splenda

Method

1. Put a small saucer pan on medium heat, add half a cup of boiling water and sweetener and mix well to dissolve the sweetener, then add the cinnamon stick and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
2. Add the chopped apples and cook until almost at just soft or desired softness. You may need to lower the heat to low and put the lid half on the saucer pan.
3. Once apples are soft add the Simply fiber and remaining ¼ cup of water and stir well to combine.
4. Cook for a further few mintues until the sauce just thickens and then remove from the heat immediately. You can either cool this down or serve warm.
5. In a serving bowl, add the ricotta cheese.
6. Divide the apple cinnamon mixture in half. Add half to the ricotta and combine well. Add the remaining on half on top of the ricotta and serve while the apple is still warm or when chilled.

Note:

• This equals one protein serve. You may want to have a vegetable dish as your meal and treat this as a protein dessert!
