Ingredients

Ingredients:

For the Pastry:

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

½ tsp. Ground cinnamon

1/3 cup low-fat cream cheese softened and cut up

¼ cup low-fat milk

1 large egg yolk

For the Filling:

1can ( 20oz ) crushed pineapple unsweetened in it's own juice drained

1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce

½ tsp. Ground cinnamon

Directions

1 To prepare pastry, in a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut cream cheese into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Combine milk and egg yolk.

2 Add milk mixture to dry ingredients tossing with fork until a dough forms. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap; chill 1 hour.

3 Preheat oven to 350º. To prepare filling, combine pineapple, applesauce, and cinnamon.

4 On a floured surface, roll 1 dough half into an 11 inch square. Fit dough into an 8 inch square baking dish; spread filling over top. Roll remaining dough into a 9 inch square. Cut into ¾ inch wide strips. Arrange strips over filling. Trim excess dough.

5 Bake until golden, about 45 minutes. Place on a wire rack and cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Now after cooled cut into 9 bars and place on a serving platter.
