Ingredients
  

  • Greek yogurt (plain, 2% or whole for creaminess; or use regular yogurt)
  • Apple (crisp varieties like Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, or Pink Lady)
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • Granola or toasted nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • Chia seeds or flaxseed (optional, for extra fiber and omega-3s)
  • Vanilla extract (optional, a few drops to round out the flavor)
  • Lemon juice (optional, to keep apple from browning and add brightness)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance sweetness and balance)

Method
 

  1. Prep the apple: Wash and core the apple. Dice it into small cubes or thin slices. If you’re prepping ahead, toss with a squeeze of lemon juice to slow browning.
  2. Season the yogurt: Add yogurt to a bowl. Stir in a pinch of cinnamon, a few drops of vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of salt. Taste and adjust. If you like it sweeter, drizzle in a little honey or maple syrup.
  3. Add the apples: Layer the apple pieces over the yogurt. Sprinkle with more cinnamon for that warm, cozy flavor.
  4. Top it off: Add granola or chopped nuts for crunch. If you want extra nutrition, sprinkle on chia seeds or ground flaxseed.
  5. Finish with sweetness: Drizzle a little more honey or maple syrup on top if needed. A light touch goes a long way.
  6. Serve right away: Enjoy immediately for the best texture, especially if you’re using granola or nuts.
