Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup ground walnuts
  • 4 tablespoons trans-fat-free tub margarine (Smart Balance)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • Water (as needed)

Filling

  • 8 ounces fat-free cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup honey

Topping

  • Chopped apples and pears, fresh cranberries and golden raisins
  • Sliced mango and sliced kiwi

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 F.
  2. Place oats, flour and nuts in food processor. Pulse to mix. Add margarine and pulse until you have coarse crumbs. Add honey and pulse until mixture holds together. (If the mixture seems too stiff to press into a tart pan, add a few drops of water.)
  3. Very gently, press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie or tart pan. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until golden. Cool.
  4. To prepare filling, mix cream cheese and honey together in food processor. Spread over cooled crust. Top with mounds of your favorite fresh fruit.
