    List of Ingredients




    Crust
    1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
    1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well. Press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan, cover bottom and 1 1/4 inches up sides. Chill for 1 hour.
    Apple-Cheese Filling
    2 envelopes unflavored gelatine
    3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
    1 cup low fat milk
    2 eggs, separated
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 cups (1 pound) small curd cottage cheese
    2 large Granny Smith apples, pared, cored
    and shredded (2 cups)

    Recipe



    In a medium saucepan, combine gelatine with 1/2 cup sugar. Stir in milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon peel and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until gelatine dissolves. Remove from heat.
    In a large bowl, beat cottage cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in gelatine mixture. Stir in shredded apples. Chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon.
    In a small bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold into apple-cheese mixture. Pour into prepared pan. Chill overnight or 8 to 12 hours until firm.
