TIPS
- Use Crisp Apples: For the best texture, use crisp varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Their tartness complements the sweetness of the honey and cinnamon.
- Toast The Walnuts: For extra flavour, lightly toast the chopped walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding them to the bowl.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter bowl, add more honey or use maple syrup as a natural sweetener.
- Use Full-Fat Yoghurt: Opt for full-fat Greek yoghurt for a creamier texture. You can also use plant-based yoghurt to make this dish dairy-free.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Option: Replace Greek yoghurt with coconut or almond yoghurt and swap honey for maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Protein Boost: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or a scoop of protein powder to the yoghurt for an extra protein boost.
- Add Fruit: Add fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries for added sweetness and a colourful burst of antioxidants.
- Nut-Free Version: Omit the walnuts or replace them with sunflower seeds for a nut-free alternative.
- Spiced Twist: For more depth of flavour, add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger alongside the cinnamon.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- In The Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Add the walnuts just before serving for the freshest taste to maintain their crunch.
- Freezing: This yoghurt bowl is best enjoyed fresh and does not freeze well due to the texture of the yoghurt and apples.
