This easy-to-make recipe brings together the natural sweetness of baked apples, the aromatic spiciness of cinnamon, and the creamy texture of low-fat Greek yogurt for a wholesome treat that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and dry the apple thoroughly.
- Cut the apple in half and remove the core. You can use a spoon or a melon baller to scoop out the seeds and create a small cavity in the center of each half.
- Optionally, you can peel the apple before cutting if you prefer a softer texture.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon evenly over the cut sides of the apple halves. Ensure the cinnamon is distributed well to impart a full flavor.
- Place the cinnamon-coated apple halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a small baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the apple is tender and lightly browned. The baking time may vary slightly depending on the type and size of the apple.
- While the apple is baking, measure out 1/2 cup of lowfat Greek yogurt. If desired, you can mix in a small amount of honey or vanilla extract to sweeten it slightly.
- Once the apples are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Place the apple halves on a serving plate or in bowls.
- Spoon the Greek yogurt over the warm baked apples, or serve it on the side.
- For added crunch and flavor, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds) or a drizzle of honey over the yogurt and apples.
- Garnish with a pinch of extra cinnamon if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, cinnamon-spiced treat as a delightful and healthy dessert or snack!
Tips:
- Choose a firm apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to ensure the apple holds its shape when baked.
- For an extra boost of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the yogurt before serving.
- You can also add a handful of nuts like walnuts or almonds for added crunch and nutritional value.
- Make sure to core the apple properly, but leave a bit of the bottom intact to hold in the delicious juices while baking.
- If you want a softer texture, you can cover the baking dish with aluminum foil during baking.
This Cinnamon-Spiced Baked Apples with Greek Yogurt recipe not only delivers on flavor but also brings a pleasant warmth to your palate.
