Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain yoghurt
- 1 apple, diced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of plain yoghurt, 1 diced apple, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup.
- Wash the apple thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Once clean, proceed to dice the apple into small, bite-sized pieces, ensuring that the core and seeds are removed.
- In a mixing bowl, add the 2 cups of plain yoghurt. Choose a bowl that is large enough to accommodate all the ingredients and allow for mixing without spilling.
- Add the diced apple to the bowl with the yoghurt. Gently fold the apple pieces into the yoghurt using a spatula or a spoon, ensuring even distribution without mashing the apple.
- Next, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the mixture. This will add a warm, aromatic flavor to the yoghurt and apples. Stir gently to combine the cinnamon evenly throughout the mixture.
- If you prefer your yoghurt to be sweeter, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Adjust the sweetness to your taste, and mix well to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
- Once everything is well combined, taste the mixture and adjust the cinnamon or sweetness if desired.
- Serve the Cinnamon Apple Yoghurt in individual bowls or cups. You can also garnish with additional apple slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an appealing presentation.
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy Cinnamon Apple Yoghurt as a snack, breakfast, or dessert!
Tips
- Choose the Right Yoghurt: Opt for a thick, creamy plain yoghurt for the best texture. Greek yoghurt works wonderfully for a richer consistency.
- Apple Selection Matters: Use crisp, sweet-tart apples like Honeycrisp or Gala for the best flavor and texture. Always dice the apples just before mixing to prevent browning.
- Cinnamon Tip: For an extra flavor boost, consider using freshly ground cinnamon instead of pre-ground. It provides a more intense and vibrant taste.
- Sweetness Hack: If you're watching your sugar intake, try using a small amount of stevia or monk fruit sweetener instead of honey or maple syrup.
- Make It Fancy: Elevate your yoghurt by adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts, a few granola crumbs, or a drizzle of additional cinnamon on top for extra texture and visual appeal.
- Prep Ahead: This recipe can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, making it perfect for meal prep or quick grab-and-go breakfasts.
