This Baked Apple Yogurt is the definition of a quick and easy breakfast. The apples get soft and tender in the microwave and are coated with cinnamon and brown sugar and are served over a bowl of creamy Greek yogurt and topped with some walnuts for crunch. One of our favorite microwave breakfasts along with this Microwave Oatmeal and Tomato Basil Egg Mug.

Today’s recipe came from simple and humble beginnings, the land of dreams. Let’s suffice it to say, a few nights back I had a dream where apple pie made an appearance and I woke up with an intense craving for apple pie for breakfast. It was clear from the beginning that short of an actual apple pie, only something with cinnamon and melted apples would do. And this recipe was born. Simple, quick, and surprisingly able to shush my apple pie cravings, it makes a perfect protein-packed breakfast or snack in under 3 minutes.

This recipe starts with a microwave version of baked apples that I usually make as a topping for frozen yogurt, a base for oatmeal, or as a treat for the kiddos. It couldn't be easier and you will be shocked at how delicious the apples turn out.

All you have to do is chop an apple. It works with the skin on or off, totally up to you. Then toss the apples with cinnamon and brown sugar, or the sweetener of your choice. Add a touch of butter if you want to make things more indulgent. Then simply microwave the apples for between 1.5-2.5 minutes depending on the strength of your microwave. You know they are ready when they are tender and you can easily pierce them with a fork.

From there, it's easy. Add them to a big bowl of yogurt. Although I opted to use non-fat plain Greek yogurt, any yogurt will work. You can use regular or Greek yogurt and experiment with different flavor combinations. I have made it with both vanilla yogurt and coconut yogurt, and it is delicious. It is also sweeter if that is something you like. Then to finish things, I like to add some chopped nuts. I love the combination of walnuts and apples, but any nut will work. You could also add nut butter instead.
