Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ apple, diced (any sweet variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 tbsp chopped pecans (or walnuts)
  • 2 tbsp granola (for crunch)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Sauté the apples: In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced apple with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup for 2–3 minutes until the apples are slightly softened and fragrant.
  2. Prepare the bowl: Spoon the cottage cheese into a serving bowl as the creamy base of the dish.
  3. Add warm apples: Top the cottage cheese with the warm cinnamon-spiced apples, distributing them evenly over the surface.
  4. Garnish with crunch: Sprinkle chopped pecans and granola over the top for extra texture and crunch.
  5. Season and serve: Add a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness, drizzle additional maple syrup if desired, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use any sweet apple variety like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala for best flavor.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the nuts and increase granola or add seeds.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature for best taste.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup.
