Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (4% milkfat recommended)
1 medium apple (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), diced
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Heat the butter or coconut oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2: Add the diced apples and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly golden. Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla extract during the last minute of cooking.
Step 3: While the apples are cooking, place the cottage cheese in a serving bowl. If desired, microwave for 20 seconds to take the chill off.
Step 4: Top the cottage cheese with the warm cinnamon apples and any remaining juices from the pan.
Step 5: Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with chopped walnuts or pecans before serving your Baked Apple Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Bowls.
Notes
For extra creaminess, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor before heating. You can also add a scoop of collagen peptides for extra protein.
