Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk works best for creaminess)
  • 1 medium apple, cored and chopped (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala are great)
  • 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons granola or crushed graham crackers (for crunch)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for extra crunch)
  • 1 tablespoon raisins or chopped dates (optional, for pie-like sweetness)
  • Extra toppings to finish: a dusting of cinnamon, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a spoonful of almond butter

Method
 

  1. Chop the apple. Cut into small bite-size pieces so they cook quickly and get tender without turning mushy.
  2. Warm the skillet. Add butter or coconut oil over medium heat. Once melted, add the apples and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add flavor. Sprinkle in the cinnamon and stir. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the apples soften and smell fragrant.
  4. Sweeten and finish. Stir in maple syrup or honey and the vanilla. Cook 30–60 seconds more to lightly glaze the apples, then remove from heat.
  5. Prep the base. Spoon Greek yogurt into a bowl. For extra creaminess and a hint of sweetness, mix in a tiny drizzle of maple syrup first.
  6. Assemble. Pile the warm apples over the yogurt. Top with granola or crushed grahams for that pie-crust crunch.
  7. Add extras. Sprinkle on nuts and raisins if using. Finish with a dusting of cinnamon and a light drizzle of maple syrup, if you like.
  8. Serve right away. Enjoy while the apples are still warm and the yogurt is cool for a perfect hot-and-cold contrast.
