This recipe makes a great after-school or after-work snack or a fast dessert for a family dinner.

1 T. ricotta cheese
1 T. applesauce (pureed), peaches or drained crushed pineapple
2 t. sugar
Sprinkle of cinnamon
One 3-inch sugar cookie (store-bought)

1. Blend cheese, fruit, sugar, and cinnamon.
2. Spoon over sugar cookie (turned upside down so sugar side is on the bottom next to cookie sheet or foil).
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes (cookie softens as it absorbs liquid from fruit-cheese mixture).
4. For a softer treat, lower oven to 325 degrees.
