#140: Apples and Pears over sweetened ricotta

found this recipe on the weight watchers website, and I LOVE it!  I'm letting the apple/pear mixture cool and plan to take this for my breakfast when school starts up again in a couple of days.  This is yummy!!  (But I love ricotta!)

Ingredients:

1 small apple, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small pear, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
4 tsp of your favorite no calorie sweetener like stevia, Equal, Splenda, etc. – adjust for taste
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
splash of vanilla

Directions:

Place apple, pear, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of your favorite no calories sweetener in a small sauce pan.  Cover and cook over medium heat until somewhat soft, about 4 to 5minutes.  (Next time I will microwave this for about 2-3 min to cut down on the prep/mess).
Meanwhile, combine remaining sweetener, cinnamon and vanilla with ricotta in a small bowl.  Serve hot fruit over ricotta.
