This recipe gives you all the cozy taste of apple pie without the crust, making it a light yet satisfying treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Spice Mixture

  • 1 sweet apple (peeled, cored, seeded, and diced, such as Honey Crisp or Gala)
  • 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, and golden raisins into a small pot. Add 1/4 cup water and sprinkle with cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. Cover the pot and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the mixture is fragrant, about 16 to 18 minutes.
  2. Cool the Apple Mixture: Remove the pot from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken slightly.
  3. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the plain yogurt evenly between two medium-sized bowls. Spoon the cooled apple and raisin mixture evenly over the yogurt in each bowl.
  4. Add the Nuts: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts or pecans on top of each bowl for added crunch and flavor.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy these cinnamon apple yogurt bowls right away for the best combination of creamy and warm fruit flavors.

Notes

  • These Cinnamon Apple Yogurt Bowls are like having apple pie for breakfast, without the crust!
  • You can substitute walnuts or pecans with your preferred nuts or seeds for different textures.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dish, adjust the raw sugar amount or add a drizzle of honey.
  • Use any firm, crisp apple variety for the best texture and natural sweetness.
