Healthy Baked Apple Topping

Get all the warm flavors of fall with these healthy baked apples. Sprinkled with cinnamon, they’ll add some spice to your meals and a delicious smell to your kitchen!

While you may be more familiar with whole baked apples, I like chopping mine before baking as I then have a read-to-go fruit topping, perfect for breakfasts, snacks, and desserts. 

Here are some of my favorite ways to use these juicy baked apples: 

• On top of hot oatmeal
• Stirred into overnight oats
• Layered with plain Greek yogurt 
• Sprinkled over a serving of vanilla bean ice cream or frozen yogurt
