Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • ½ cup cottage cheese

Apple Topping

  • ½ apple, diced (any sweet variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tbsp maple syrup (or honey)

Add-Ins

  • 1 tbsp chopped pecans (or walnuts)
  • 2 tbsp granola (for crunch)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Apples: In a small skillet over medium heat, add the diced apple, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become slightly softened and fragrant.
  2. Prepare the Bowl: Spoon the cottage cheese into a serving bowl, creating a creamy base for your topping.
  3. Add Warm Apples: Spoon the warm cinnamon apples over the cottage cheese to coat the surface nicely.
  4. Sprinkle Crunchy Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the granola and chopped pecans (or walnuts) on top of the apples for added texture and flavor. Add a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness.
  5. Optional Maple Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle a little extra maple syrup over the bowl if you prefer more sweetness. Enjoy immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use any sweet apple variety like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala for best flavor.
  • Substitute walnuts for pecans or omit nuts for a nut-free version.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup depending on your desired sweetness.
  • For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm apples and cool cottage cheese.
