Scale
Fruit and Spice Mixture
- 1 sweet apple (peeled, cored, seeded and diced — Honey Crisp or Gala recommended)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons raw sugar
- 1 tablespoon golden raisins
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1/4 cup water
Base and Topping
- 2 cups 0% fat Stonyfield plain yogurt

Instructions
- Prepare the spiced apples: Place the diced apple, raw sugar, and golden raisins into a small pot. Add 1/4 cup of water, then sprinkle the cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg over the mixture.
- Cook the apples: Cover the pot with a lid and cook over low heat for 16 to 18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and infused with the spices. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
