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 if desired)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon honey (optional for sweetness)

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

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar (or maple syrup). Mix them together until the apples are well-coated. Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes, which will enable the flavors to enhance and develop.

    Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C) so that it is ready for baking the toast cups.

      Create the Toast Cups: Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of bread until they reach a thickness of approximately 1/4 inch. Carefully press each flattened slice into a muffin tin, shaping them into cups that rise above the edges slightly.

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

          Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey (if you're including it). Mix until the ingredients are fully blended and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

            Assemble the Toast Cups: After the bread cups have cooled just enough to handle, gently remove them from the muffin tin. Spoon a generous amount of the creamy yogurt mixture into each bread cup, then top with a hearty portion of the spiced apple mixture.

              Add Toppings: For a delightful crunch, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the apple and yogurt mixture. If you like, garnish the cups with fresh mint leaves for a vibrant touch.

                Serve and Enjoy: These Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Toast Cups can be served warm or at room temperature. They make for a perfect breakfast, a lovely brunch dish, or a satisfying snack!
