Notes

Best apples to use: Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, Fuji and Gala all hold their shape well. Granny Smith works for a more tart flavor.

Storage:

Fridge: Cool the apples and store them separately from the yogurt in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freezing is not recommended because the apples can become very soft and watery after thawing.
Reheat: Microwave until warm or briefly air fry at 350°F or 175°C. Add the Greek yogurt after reheating.

Nutrition calculation: Calculated per serving using 300 grams Pink Lady apples, 1 tablespoon salted butter, 1 packed tablespoon brown sugar, 200 grams Fage Total 2% Greek yogurt and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Optional vanilla is excluded.
