Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 cup plain plant-based yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (natural), plus extra for tossing and garnish
Fruit
- 1 medium fresh apple, washed and diced
Sweetener
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (natural), plus extra for drizzling
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts
- Optional garnish: oat flakes, dried cranberries, fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash and dice the crisp apple into bite-sized pieces. Toss the apple pieces lightly with cinnamon (natural) and a small drizzle of maple syrup (natural). Let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the warm spice.
- Mix the Yogurt Base: In a bowl, combine the plain plant-based yogurt with vanilla extract (natural) and a pinch of cinnamon (natural). Stir well until smooth and fragrant.
- Assemble the Bowl: Spoon the cinnamon-spiced yogurt into your serving bowl. Layer the cinnamon-coated apples on top, then sprinkle with chia seeds and chopped nuts for texture and crunch.
- Final Touches: Drizzle a little extra maple syrup (natural) on top if you prefer more sweetness. Optionally, add extra dashes of cinnamon or a sprinkle of oat flakes for garnish.
Notes
- Use crisp apples such as Granny Smith or Fuji for best texture and flavor.
- Chilled yogurt keeps the bowl refreshing and balances the warm spices.
- Toss apples early to intensify the flavor.
- Mix creamy yogurt with crunchy seeds and nuts for satisfying texture.
- Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or a splash of grape juice (natural) as preferred.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to two days; keep nuts separate.
- Freeze cinnamon and maple syrup coated diced apples for later use, thaw before assembling.
- Reheat apples gently with apple cider vinegar and cinnamon if warm apples are desired.
