Description

Delightful Cinnamon Apple Yogurt Bowls combine tender, cinnamon-spiced cooked apples with creamy 0% fat plain yogurt, topped with crunchy chopped walnuts or pecans for a wholesome and comforting breakfast resembling apple pie without the crust.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
