Ingredients :

Biscuits

1 cup wholemeal self raising flour

125g low fat cream cheese

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla essence

2 tsp brown sugar

Filling

2 1/2 cups cold, stewed apple, flavored with lemon rind, cinnamon and cloves to taste

Topping

125g low fat cream cheese

2 tsp sugar

rind 1/2 lemon, finely grated

125g ricotta cheese

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Decoration

50g chopped pecans

Method :

Biscuits - Sift flour into bowl. Return bran to sifted flour. Soften cheese, and beat with a spoon until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and beat again. Add sugar and mix well. Gradually blend flour into cheese mixture until a soft dough is formed. Turn out onto a floured board and knead into a ball. Divide into there. Shape and roll into rounds approximately 25cm (10 in) in diameter, making them as equal as possible. Lift onto very lightly greased baking trays. Bake for 12 minutes until cooked through and light brown. Remove and cool on cake racks.

Filling - Add lemon rind, cinnamon and cloves (to taste) to cold, stewed apple. Mixture should be fairly firm.

Topping - Soften low fat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, lemon rind, ricotta and cinnamon and mix well.

Assembly - Place one biscuit round on serving plate. Cover with half the apple. Cover with the second round, spread with the remainder of the apple, then place third round on top. Spread topping mixture on top and sides of cake. Sprinkle with pecans, cover with plastic film and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Cut into wedges to serve.

Refrigerate this glorious cake for a day before you serve it so that it is easy to cut and the filling has developed its full flavor.
