How to Make World's Best Cheese Cake Made Low Fat

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup applesauce and 2 large eggs until well combined.
Stir in 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs until all crumbs are moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides (about 1 inch) of a 9-inch springform pan.
Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat 2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, gently fold in 2 large egg whites until just combined.
In a blender, combine 1 cup small curd cottage cheese and 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder until completely smooth.
Gradually add the blended cottage cheese mixture to the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
Bake for 45 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Spread evenly over the baked cheesecake.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes.
The cheesecake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving. Top with your favorite fruit pie filling, if desired.
