Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 medium apple (Honeycrisp or Fuji work best), diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash the apple thoroughly and dice it into small, uniform bite-sized pieces. You can leave the skin on for extra fiber and color, or peel it if you prefer a softer texture.
- Sauté the Fruit: Place a small skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil or butter. Once melted, add the diced apples and half of the cinnamon. Stir frequently for about 3 to 5 minutes until the apples are tender and fragrant.
- Season the Cottage Cheese: While the apples are cooking, scoop the cottage cheese into a medium serving bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract and the remaining cinnamon until well combined.
- Assemble the Bowl: Top the seasoned cottage cheese with the warm sautéed apples. Drizzle the maple syrup or honey over the top and sprinkle with the chopped walnuts or pecans for a satisfying crunch.
