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, cook the diced apple with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup for 2–3 minutes until they are slightly softened and fragrant, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  2. Prepare the base: Spoon the creamy cottage cheese into a serving bowl as the base for the dish.
  3. Assemble the bowl: Top the cottage cheese with the warm cinnamon apples, spreading them evenly.
  4. Add crunch and flavor: Sprinkle granola and chopped pecans over the top along with a pinch of sea salt to enhance the texture and taste.
  5. Final touch and serve: Drizzle with a little extra maple syrup if you like added sweetness, then enjoy your delicious Cottage Cheese Apple Pie Bowl immediately.

Notes

  • Use any sweet apple variety like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala for the best flavor.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar according to preference.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the pecans or substitute with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm fruit and cool cottage cheese.
  • Granola adds crunch but choose a low-sugar granola for a healthier option.
