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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the Nuts: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts or pecans on top of each bowl for added crunch and flavor.
