Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. You should have approximately 480g of apple slices.
- In a large bowl, combine the apple slices with 2 tablespoons of orange zest, 1 tablespoon of orange juice, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Toss well to ensure the apple slices are evenly coated.
- Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Arrange the coated apple slices evenly in the baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Stir thoroughly until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the yogurt and sugar mixture evenly over the arranged apples in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture if necessary, ensuring that all the apples are covered.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Tips:
- Choose apples that are firm and slightly tart, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for the best flavor and texture in your gratin.
- For a more intense orange flavor, you can add a bit more orange zest or even a splash of orange liqueur.
- To ensure a smooth and creamy consistency, make sure the Greek yogurt you use is well-mixed before adding it to the mixture.
- You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sugar and yogurt mixture for a warm, aromatic touch.
- Serve the apple gratin warm, and consider topping it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
