Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

2 medium apples any variety you prefer (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala work wonderfully)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain, 0% or 2% fat
2 tablespoons almond butter or peanut butter, sunflower seed butter for nut-free
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup adjust to your sweetness preference
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch nutmeg optional
1/4 cup rolled oats gluten-free if needed
2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds for topping (optional, e.g., walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds)

Equipment

Apple Corer
Sharp knife
Medium Bowl
Serving Plate
Parchment-lined baking sheet

Method

Start by washing your apples thoroughly. Core both apples using an apple corer or a sharp knife. Then, slice each apple horizontally into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
2 medium apples
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond butter, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Stir everything together until it's well-blended and has a smooth, creamy consistency.
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons almond butter, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, pinch nutmeg
Lay the apple slices flat on a serving plate or a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2 medium apples
Using a spoon or a small spatula, carefully spread a generous dollop of the protein mixture onto the center of each apple slice. You want enough to cover a good portion of the apple, but not so much that it spills over the edges.
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons almond butter, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, pinch nutmeg
If you're using them, sprinkle the rolled oats and chopped nuts or seeds over the protein mixture on each apple bite. This adds a delightful crunch and extra texture.

Your High Protein Apple Bites are ready to be enjoyed immediately! For a firmer texture and chilled delight, you can place them in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Freezing is not ideal for preserving crisp texture.
