2 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 cups applesauce, warmed (i use homemade) |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. To make cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup sugar and ground cinnamon; set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese, egg yolks, butter, and vanilla; stir to blend.
3. Add in the apple, flour, sugar, and salt; stir to combine.
4. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
