Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain low-sodium Greek yogurt
- 4 medium Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
Start by preparing the homemade applesauce. Peel and core the apples, then chop them into small chunks.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped apples and water. Cover and cook until the apples are soft and easy to mash with a fork, about 15 minutes.
Once the apples are cooked, stir in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. For some extra sweetness, you can add honey at this point, if desired.
Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the apples until you reach your desired applesauce consistency. For a smoother texture, you can use a blender or food processor.
Allow the applesauce to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate it to cool quickly if preferred.
Serve the low-sodium Greek yogurt in individual bowls, topping each serving with a generous scoop of homemade applesauce.
Gently swirl the applesauce into the yogurt for a beautiful marbled effect and enjoy your low sodium treat.
