Ingredients

• 4 whole Apples (e.g., Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji)
• 3 cups Apple cider
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 whole Cinnamon stick
• 3 whole Cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Peel and core the apples, leaving them whole or halved as desired.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider, honey, cinnamon stick, cloves, and ground nutmeg. Stir to mix the ingredients.

Step 3

Place the prepared apples into the saucepan, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.

Step 4

Bring the cider mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently.

Step 5

Cover the saucepan and simmer the apples for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender but still hold their shape. Turn the apples occasionally for even cooking.

Step 6

While the apples are poaching, prepare the cinnamon yogurt. In a small bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup until smooth. Set aside.

Step 7

Once the apples are done, carefully remove them from the saucepan using a slotted spoon. Let the cider mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes to slightly reduce and concentrate the sauce.

Step 8

To serve, place each poached apple on a plate or in a bowl. Drizzle a spoonful of the reduced cider sauce over the apples.

Step 9

Add a dollop of the cinnamon yogurt on the side or on top of the apples.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a small pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor.
