Description

This comforting dish combines soft-cooked cinnamon-spiced apples and raisins served over creamy 0% fat plain yogurt, topped with crunchy chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 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
Base and Toppings
- 2 cups 0% fat Stonyfield plain yogurt
- 4 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the spiced apple filling: Place the diced apple, raw sugar, and golden raisins in 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 for 16 to 18 minutes until the apples become soft and infused with spice.
- Cool the filling: Remove the pot from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld and prevents the yogurt from warming up when served.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the 0% fat plain yogurt evenly into two medium serving bowls. Spoon the cooled cinnamon-spiced apple and raisin mixture over the yogurt.
- Add crunch and serve: Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans on top for a delightful crunch and serve immediately for a fresh and tasty breakfast experience.
