A simple and delicious snack featuring thinly sliced apples baked to a crisp with cinnamon and sugar, topped with a tangy Greek yogurt drizzle sweetened with honey and vanilla.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium-sized apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or coconut sugar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C).
  2. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the apples into thin rounds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick, removing any seeds.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Stir until well blended.
  4. Toss the apple slices gently in the cinnamon butter mixture, coating each slice lightly.
  5. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, avoiding overlap.
  6. Bake for 45-60 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through (around 30 minutes), until edges curl and turn golden brown. Reduce heat if burning occurs.
  7. While apples bake, prepare the yogurt drizzle by mixing Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
  8. Remove the crisp apple slices from the oven and let cool on the tray for 5-10 minutes to firm up.
  9. Arrange the crispy apple slices on a serving plate, drizzle generously with the Greek yogurt mixture, and optionally sprinkle extra cinnamon on top.
  10. Serve immediately or within an hour for best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Notes

Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji for best crispness. Slice apples about 1/8 inch thick. Bake low and slow at 225°F to dry slices evenly. Flip slices halfway through baking. Yogurt drizzle can be prepared ahead and refrigerated. For vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and honey with maple syrup.
