Apple Pie Yogurt

Apple pie yogurt? This fruit dessert steals some of the good ingredients from apple pie but is quick, easy, and very healthy.

• 1 cup yogurt
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/8 teaspoon (a pinch) cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon (another pinch) freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries, soaked in water
• 4 large eating apples, sliced
• 1/4 cup walnut pieces

METHOD

Put yogurt in a medium sized bowl. Add maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.

Remove cranberries from soaking liquid and pat dry. Add apples and cranberries to yogurt mixture. Toss gently, but thoroughly. You want to coat the apples so they don't oxidize.

Garnish with walnut pieces.

Serves 4 - 6

Maple syrup is free flowing, and easy to mix into the chilly yogurt. You can use honey if you prefer, but be sure to mix vigorously.
