Calories: 175kcal
Ingredients
- 1 can (8) crescent rolls (reduced fat)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1.5 tbsp butter
- 2 rocket apples thinly sliced (or 100g)*
- 2 tbsp cream cheese split into 8 pieces (7g per tart)
Icing
- 1/4 cup (40g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 scoop Gold Standard Whey Vanilla Ice Cream protein powder (15g)
- 2 tbsp whole milk
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375.
- Separate your rolls and form them into circles by connecting the tips on each side and pushing the dough to form a circle. Make 8 circle crusts.
- In a small bowl combine sugar, pumpkin pie spice and butter. Microwave for 20 second intervals until the butter begins to melt and mix together well.
- Top the center of each crust with the sugar mixture (like saucing a pizza), equal parts across all 8 circles.
- Top the sugar with cubed cream cheese and sliced apples.
- Bake for 11 minutes until browned.
Icing Directions:
- Mix powdered sugar, protein powder and milk in a bowl. Drizzle over each tart and enjoy!
- The nutrition facts are for the entire lot of icing which makes about 100g. If you only use 10g you can drop it approx. 8 cals which is not enough to worry about but mentioning regardless.
Notes
- You can use any apple you would like here. We like to buy the rocket apples for a quick snack.
Icing Notes:
The "drizzle" of icing is counted as 10g per tart in the macros. You will have ~ 100g of icing / 10 servings.
