Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium apples any variety (Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith work well)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat or 0%

  • 1 tablespoon nut butter almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter all work

  • pinch nutmeg optional
Toppings

Equipment

  • Plate
  • Parchment paper
  • Small Bowl
  • Spoon
  • Small spatula

Method
 

  1. Wash your apples thoroughly. Core each apple and then slice them into rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. You can leave the skins on for added fiber and texture, or peel them if you prefer a smoother bite. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a plate or a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  2. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, nut butter, and optional honey or maple syrup. Stir until everything is well incorporated and you have a smooth, creamy mixture. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a teaspoon of milk or water to loosen it up.

  3. Stir in the cinnamon and the pinch of nutmeg (if using) into the protein filling. This adds a warm, comforting flavor that pairs beautifully with the apples.
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, pinch nutmeg
  4. Using a spoon or a small spatula, generously spread the protein filling over each apple slice. Aim for an even coating, ensuring a good amount of the filling on each bite.
  5. This is where you can get creative! Sprinkle your chosen toppings over the protein filling. Consider a mix of textures and flavors like crunchy chopped pecans, wholesome chia seeds, sweet shredded coconut, or decadent mini dark chocolate chips for a truly irresistible combination.
  6. Once assembled, place the plate or baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set slightly. This makes the High Protein Apple Bites easier to handle and enjoy. Serve chilled for a refreshing and satisfying snack.
