✅ Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese (0–2 points depending on brand)

- 1 tsp cinnamon (0 points)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (0 points)
- 2–3 tbsp sugar-free syrup or monk fruit sweetener (instead of honey/maple, to keep points lower)

- Pinch of salt (0 points)
- 1 medium apple, peeled & finely chopped (0 points)
👩🍳 Instructions

💡 Notes

- Texture options: Almond flour = softer & lower carb. Oats = heartier & more filling.
- Make ahead: Bake the night before and reheat for 30–40 seconds in the microwave.
