Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Mixture
- 1 sweet apple (peeled, cored, seeded, and diced; 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 & Toppings
- 2 cups 0% fat Stonyfield plain yogurt
- 4 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the spiced apple mixture: Place the diced apple, raw sugar, golden raisins, and 1/4 cup water into a small pot. Sprinkle the cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg on top. Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 16 to 18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and tender.
- Cool the apples: Remove the pot from heat and set aside to cool slightly before assembling the bowls. Allowing the mixture to cool helps preserve the yogurt’s texture.
- Assemble the yogurt bowls: Divide the 0% fat plain yogurt evenly between two medium serving bowls. Spoon the warm spiced apple mixture on top of the yogurt in each bowl, then sprinkle with chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy the cinnamon apple yogurt bowls right away for the best combination of creamy, warm, and crunchy textures and flavors.
Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: You can prepare the apple mixture in advance and refrigerate it separately. Add it along with the nuts to the yogurt just before serving to keep textures fresh.
- For a creamier version, try using Greek yogurt instead of plain.
- Use your favorite apple variety, but sweeter types like Honey Crisp or Gala work best.
- Swap nuts for a crunchy granola topping if desired.
