- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 1 medium apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Wash your apple thoroughly and dice it into small, bite-sized cubes. You can leave the skin on for extra nutrients and fiber, or peel it if you prefer a softer, more uniform texture.
- Place a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the pan. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and fragrant.
- While the apples are cooking, scoop one cup of cottage cheese into your favorite breakfast bowl. If you prefer a smoother, pudding-like consistency, you can whip the cottage cheese in a small blender for 30 seconds before adding it to the bowl.
- Top the cottage cheese with the warm cinnamon apples. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the top for a satisfying crunch. Serve immediately while the apples are still warm for the best experience.
