Ingredients
Scale
Apple 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
Yogurt and Toppings
- 2 cups 0% fat Stonyfield plain yogurt
- 4 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Cook the Apple Mixture: Place the diced apple, raw sugar, golden raisins, and 1/4 cup water in a small pot. Sprinkle with cinnamon and add a pinch of nutmeg. Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 16 to 18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft.
- Cool the Apples: Remove the pot from heat and set aside to allow the spiced apple mixture to cool completely to avoid warming the yogurt bowls.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide 2 cups of 0% fat plain yogurt equally into 2 medium serving bowls. Spoon the cooled cinnamon apple mixture evenly over the yogurt in each bowl.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts or pecans on top of each bowl for a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. Serve immediately for a fresh and comforting breakfast experience.
Notes
- These Cinnamon Apple Yogurt Bowls provide the cozy flavors of apple pie without the crust, making for a lighter, healthier breakfast option.
- You can substitute walnuts with pecans or your favorite nuts for variation.
- For extra sweetness, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired, but the raw sugar and raisins usually suffice.
- Cool the apple mixture well before adding to yogurt to maintain the yogurt’s texture and taste.
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a tangier contrast or sweeter varieties like Honey Crisp for a naturally sweeter bowl.
