Ingredients
  

4 slices of whole-grain bread

2 medium-sized apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon brown sugar (or maple syrup for a healthier option)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar (or maple syrup). Mix well to coat the apples evenly. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      Create the Toast Cups: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Gently press each slice into a muffin tin, forming cups that rise slightly above the edges.

        Toast the Bread: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake the bread cups for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

          Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey (if using). Stir until smooth and creamy.

            Assemble the Toast Cups: Once the bread cups have cooled slightly, remove them from the muffin tin. Spoon a generous amount of the yogurt mixture into each cup, followed by a heap of the cinnamon apples on top.

              Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the apple cinnamon mixture for added crunch, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Toast Cups warm or at room temperature, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful snack!
