This recipe is a go to dessert for me. I LOVE yogurt bowls for dessert in general but this one takes the cake- pun intended. It's so simple and quick people are shocked it tastes this good.
These sautéed apples are literally apple pie in minutes. But healthy. And SO much less work.
How you dress up the apples is completely up to you. Personally I'm a-nonfat plain greek yogurt (#siggis or #oikos), granola (#purelyelizabeth) broken up into tiny tiny bits of heaven crumbled all over the apples and a dollop of natural penautbutter (#smuckers or #crazyrichards) drizzled everywhere- type of person. But my sister is a- dollop of light cool whip over the apples with crumbled granola (#purelyelizabeth) over the top of that- type of person.
Are you a yogurt, cool whip or other?
Who knew apple pie was so accommodating to us lazy folk who want to be healthy?
1 serving | 5 minutes
Ingredients:
Apple base:
1 apple, diced
1/4 cup water, plus more as needed.
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla
Yogurt version:
15g good quality granola (I use #purelyelizabeth)
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
Cool Whip version:
1/2 cup low fat cool whip
15g good quality granola (I use #purely Elizabeth)
Directions:
Dice the apple into small pieces.
Add water, apples, cinnamon and vanilla to the sauté pan over medium heat. Bring the apples to a simmer and cover for about 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, remove the lid, stir the apples and assess. Water quantity will vary depending on the type, age or quality or the apple. Sometimes there will be excess water at this step and you will have to just simmer the apples until it is absorbed. Sometimes the water will be absorbed but the apple is not soft enough yet, just add some more water and simmer it until they’re your preferred consistency. Sometimes it’ll be done perfectly and you’re good!
When the apples are done cooking assemble your bowl:
Base of yogurt, topped with sautéed apples and finished with crumbled granola for crunch and natural peanutbutter drizzled on top.
Base of sautéed apples, topped with a dollop of cool whip and crumbled granola for crunch.
