Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ apple, diced (any sweet variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
  • 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, sauté the diced apple with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup for 2–3 minutes until the apples are slightly softened and fragrant.
  2. Prepare Bowl Base: Spoon the cottage cheese into a serving bowl, creating a creamy base for the topping.
  3. Add Warm Apples: Spoon the warm cinnamon apples over the cottage cheese, allowing the warm fruit to contrast with the cool creaminess.
  4. Top with Crunchy Ingredients: Sprinkle the granola and chopped pecans on top along with a pinch of sea salt to add texture and balance the sweetness.
  5. Optional Drizzle: Drizzle a little extra maple syrup over the bowl if desired for added sweetness, then enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey for maple syrup if preferred.
  • Choose any sweet apple variety like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala to get the best balance of sweetness and texture.
  • Use walnuts instead of pecans if you prefer a slightly different nutty flavor.
  • For a vegan version, replace cottage cheese with plant-based alternatives and use maple syrup only.
  • Granola adds a nice crunch, but you can omit it or replace it with toasted oats or seeds if desired.
