Now, why this is called "French Apple Yogurt" is beyond me, but it is. My modifications are to personal taste and nutrition goals, and include using plain instead of vanilla yogurt and apple juice instead of water. I scaled the recipe down to 2 servings for my pre-yoga breakfast today, and used a small Pink Lady apple, since it was just me eating. With a sprinkling of Rice Krispies (don't tell the stepbrother - they're technically his!), this was a satisfying morning meal that can be fast enough to have before school if you prep the apple mixture ahead (next time I'll make a bunch and store it in the fridge... it's so good on it's own!).
French Apple Yogurt
Makes 8 half-cup servings
1/2 cup 100% apple juice
1 cinnamon stick
3 large Golden Delicious apples, skin on, diced

1 cinnamon stick
3 large Golden Delicious apples, skin on, diced
2 cups non-fat plain yogurt

- Combine apple juice and cinnamon stick in a small, deep pot and bring to a boil.

I'm thinking the "French" in there is because it has vanilla in it. Kinda like "French Vanilla" iced cream. Odd.
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy, though!
