Baked Cinnamon Apple with Greek Yogurt Drizzle: A Warm High-Protein Dessert Under $2
There’s something deeply comforting about a warm baked apple, and this version turns that comfort into a legitimate high-protein dessert. Sliced apple bakes until tender and lightly caramelized, its natural sweetness deepened by a touch of honey, melted butter, and a generous dusting of cinnamon. Once out of the oven, a scoop of cool plain Greek yogurt gets spooned right on top, melting slightly into the warm fruit and adding a creamy, tangy contrast along with a solid 14 grams of protein. A sprinkle of chopped walnuts on top adds crunch if you want it, though the dessert holds up perfectly well without. It’s the kind of simple, cozy dessert that feels far more indulgent than its ingredient list suggests, and at under $2 per serving, it’s an easy way to satisfy a sweet craving without derailing your macros. Make it any night you want something warm and a little bit special.
