Yogurt Apple Cups with Coconut and Walnuts
Enjoy these apple cups filled to the brim with coconut, yogurt and walnuts for breakfast, dessert or a snack.
You know how there are some foods that just taste good together?
Like apples and cinnamon.
Or apples and walnuts.
Or even apples and granola.
Oh sure, you can cut up the apples and eat these delicious ingredients mixed up in a bowl.
But if you’re feeling more fancy than that, check out how easy it is to make these apple cups.
The combination of flavors and textures taste so good together.
And to be honest, it’s kind of fun to eat these apple cups because they’re a little bit messy, especially with maple syrup drizzled on top.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Red Delicious apples (or your favorite type of apple), plain yogurt, shredded sweetened coconut, dried cranberries, a lime, granola, walnut pieces, cinnamon, and maple syrup
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
For the Filling:
In a medium size bowl,
add yogurt,
shredded coconut,
and dried cranberries.
Mix together,
…cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator while preparing the apples.
For the Apple Cups:
Cut the apples in half widthwise.
Then,
Using a small spoon (or a 1/4 size teaspoon), scoop out the core and seeds.
Scoop out a section of the apple that’s a bit larger than the diameter of the core (about two inches diameter).
TIP – If you happen to scoop out too much of the apple at the bottom and you see a small whole, just take some of the apple that you removed and put it back into the bottom of the apple to cover the space.
Set aside for a moment.
Cut a lime in quarters…
…then…
…squeeze lime juice from each quarter of lime over the flesh and center of each apple…
The lime juice should help prevent the apple from turning brown.
Filling the Apple Cups – Stir the yogurt filling again and add it in the cavity of each apple.
Also add the filling to the top of the apple so it resembles frosting on a cupcake.
For the Toppings:
Sprinkle the remaining shredded coconut on top of the yogurt filling.
Next, top with the granola…
Then sprinkle cinnamon on top.
…top with walnut pieces.
Just before serving…
…drizzle maple syrup on top.
