Weight Watchers Peach Cobbler

You would never know this was light just by tasting it! Makes 6 servings. Per serving: 244 calories, 5.2g fat. 2.5g protein, 50g carbs.

Cooking Spray
1/4 cup light butter or reduced calorie stick margarine, melted
2 (16 oz each) cans sliced peaches in light syrup, undrained
3/4 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup fat free milk

Preheat oven to 375. Coat a 9 inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Add melted butter, and set aside. Drain peaches, reserving 1/2 cup syrup; set aside. Combine flour, sugar, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Add the reserved peach syrup and fat free milk to the flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Pour batter into prepared dish, and top with peaches (do NOT stir). Bake at 375 for 35 minutes or til golden.
I like to top each serving with a scoop or 2 of some type of vanilla ice cream: regular, light, sugar free, frozen yogurt....whatever. It's all good.

Recipe tonight is for applesauce. Tonight's dinner will be shake 'n bake pork chops, homemade applesauce, can of green beans, and a box of Betty Crocker skillet hashbrowns. Applesauce is cooking right now and smells so good. I love how it makes the house smell like fall, even though it's like 86 outside. This is the doubled version of the recipe coz I like to make a bigger pot so we can have some leftovers. Here we go:

2 tbsp butter
6 apples, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped (I use 3 granny smith and 3 braeburn, a little tart and a little sweet)
1 cup water
6 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp fresh lemon juice (usually 1 1/2 to 2 lemons)
1/4 tsp salt

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add apples; cook about 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Add water, sugar, lemon juice, and salt; cover and cook 30 minutes or til apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Mash gently with back of a spoon. Perfect with pork!
