Tips & Variations

  • For added texture, sprinkle some chia seeds or flaxseeds on top.

How to Serve

Two white bowls hold a dish with two layers each: the bottom layer is white creamy cottage cheese with a soft, chunky texture, topped with a layer of golden-brown cooked apple cubes coated in cinnamon and spices. The apple pieces have a slightly glazed, shiny look. The bowls sit on a white marbled surface scattered with some cinnamon powder and brown sugar crumbs. Near the top bowl is a whole red and yellow apple, to the left side is a wooden spoon, and on the right side is another wooden spoon and a small metal measuring scoop with a wooden handle containing brown sugar. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
