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 substitute with maple syrup for a healthier option)

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

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, as a crunchy topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples with the ground cinnamon and brown sugar (or maple syrup). Mix thoroughly until the apples are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors deepen.

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

      Create the Toast Cups: Use a rolling pin to carefully flatten each slice of bread until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Then, gently push each slice into the wells of a muffin tin, shaping them into cups that extend slightly above the edges.

        Toast the Bread: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake the bread cups for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the cups become crispy.

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

            Assemble the Toast Cups: Once the bread cups are out of the oven and slightly cooled, carefully remove them from the muffin tin. Spoon a generous dollop of the yogurt mixture into each cup, then top with a heap of the cinnamon-sugar apples.

              Add Toppings: For added texture and crunch, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the apple mixture. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

                Serve and Enjoy: Your delightful Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Toast Cups can be served warm or at room temperature, making them an ideal choice for breakfast, brunch, or a tasty snack anytime!
