Apples are the star in this recipe. This is apple pie turned upside down in a smoothie bowl creation. Use a Gala or Fuji apple for the sweetest apple taste. You can use store-bought granola or any of the granola recipes in my book, 200 Best Smoothie Bowl Recipes to top your smoothie bowl.

Ingredients

  • 1 apple, peeled and cut into wedges

  • 1⁄4 (60 mL) cup apple juice

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) granulated sugar

  • 1⁄2 tsp ( 2 mL) ground cinnamon

  • 1⁄4 cup ( 60 mL) milk

  • 1 cup  (250 mL) vanilla-flavored frozen yogurt

  • 4 graham crackers

  • 4 ice cubes

Directions

  • In a large skillet, combine apple and apple juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in sugar and cinnamon; simmer, stirring gently, for 3 minutes or until apples are softened. Drain and let cool completely.
  • In a blender, combine milk, frozen yogurt, cooked apples, graham crackers and ice. Secure lid and blend (from low to high if using a variable-speed blender) until smooth.
  • Pour into a bowl and top with any of the suggested toppings, as desired.

Notes

  • Suggested Toppings: Ground cinnamon, sliced peach, granola, crushed graham crackers, spiced pecans, caramel sauce
