Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1–2 Crisp fresh apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp), washed, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1 cup plant-based yogurt (creamy and smooth)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (plant-based texture solution)
- 1 tablespoon grape juice (natural), for tossing apples
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry the fresh apples thoroughly. Core and slice them thinly to maintain a crisp texture. Toss the apple slices gently with the ground cinnamon (natural) and a splash of grape juice (natural) to infuse warmth and lightly soften the fruit.
- Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, combine the plant-based yogurt with the maple syrup (natural) and vanilla extract (natural). Whisk thoroughly until smooth and creamy to create a flavorful base.
- Combine Apples and Yogurt: Add the cinnamon-coated apple slices into the yogurt mixture. Fold gently to distribute the cinnamon and sweetness evenly without breaking the apple slices.
- Add Texture: Sprinkle chia seeds over the yogurt-apple mix for added fiber and texture. If a thicker consistency is desired, gently fold in the natural gelling agent as needed to achieve the preferred texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the Cinnamon Apple Yogurt Bowls to serving dishes. Optionally garnish with freshly chopped nuts or smoked turkey bacon bits for extra texture and flavor, then serve immediately or chill briefly to enhance flavors.
Notes
- Choose crisp apples like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala for the best texture and sweetness.
- Gently fold ingredients to avoid breaking the apple slices and preserve the bowl’s texture.
- Use room temperature yogurt to better blend flavors and prevent clumps if adding the natural gelling agent.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup or grape juice based on your apples’ natural sweetness for perfect balance.
- Allow the bowl to chill for a few minutes before serving to deepen the flavors.
