Start by preparing the homemade applesauce. Peel and core the apples, then chop them into small chunks.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple chunks and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Cover the saucepan and let the apples cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and tender.
Remove the saucepan from heat, then mash the cooked apples using a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency for the applesauce.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, honey, and lemon juice into the mashed apples, mixing thoroughly. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once the applesauce has cooled, divide the low-fat plain yogurt evenly into four serving bowls.
Spoon the homemade applesauce over the yogurt in each bowl.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Enjoy this delicious and healthy creamy yogurt with a fruity twist!
