Ingredients
Scale
Fruit and Spice Mixture
- 1 sweet apple (peeled, cored, seeded, and diced; Honey Crisp or Gala recommended)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons raw sugar
- 1 tablespoon golden raisins
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1/4 cup water
Base
- 2 cups 0% fat Stonyfield plain yogurt
Toppings
- 4 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Cook the Apples: Place the diced apple, raw sugar, and golden raisins in a small pot. Add 1/4 cup of water and sprinkle with cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 16 to 18 minutes or until the apples are tender and infused with the spices.
- Cool the Apple Mixture: Remove the pot from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the plain yogurt evenly between two medium-sized bowls. Spoon the cooled cooked apple mixture over the yogurt.
- Add Crunchy Nuts and Serve: Sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans on top of each bowl for added texture and nuttiness. Serve the cinnamon apple yogurt bowls immediately for the best flavor.
Notes
- These Cinnamon Apple Yogurt Bowls are like having apple pie for breakfast, all the flavor without the crust or added fats.
- Use your favorite variety of sweet apple; Honey Crisp or Gala are ideal for their natural sweetness and texture.
- For extra warmth, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top before serving.
- Substitute nuts for a nut-free option by adding granola or seeds if desired.
- Use fat-free plain yogurt to keep the dish light and healthy without sacrificing creaminess.
