Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)
- 1 tablespoon Stevia or erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 medium Green apples
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and core the green apples, then chop them into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and let cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the apples are soft and easily mashable.
Once cooked, mash the apples with a fork or a potato masher until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother applesauce, you can blend the mixture with an immersion blender.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the applesauce cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with stevia or erythritol and vanilla extract. Stir well to blend the flavors.
Divide the sweetened yogurt into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with a generous scoop of the homemade applesauce.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
