Honey-Roasted Apples with Coconut Yogurt & Chia Seeds is a healthier and flavorful dessert where apple quarters are baked with honey, cinnamon, and ginger until tender and caramelised. The roasted apples are then topped with creamy coconut yogurt, making it a dairy-free option. Chia seeds are added for extra fiber and omega-3s, boosting the nutritional value. This dish is a warm, comforting treat that combines sweet, spiced apples with rich, tangy yogurt, creating a delightful balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

  • Apples (Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp work well) – 2 nos.
  • Honey or maple syrup – 1 ½  tbsp  
  • Ground cinnamon – 1 tsp 
  • Ground ginger (optional) – ½ tsp
  • Coconut oil – 1 tbsp
  • Plain coconut yoghurt – 1 cup  
  • Extra honey or maple syrup for drizzling (Optional)
  • Chia seeds – 1 tbsp

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Quarter the apples, discarding the seeds and core. For added fiber, you can keep the peel on.
  • Place the apple quarters on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup, sprinkle with cinnamon and ginger, and toss them in coconut oil to coat them evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the apples are tender and lightly caramelised. You can check with a fork to see if they’re soft.
  • While the apples are baking, mix the coconut yogurt with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup (if desired). Stir in chia seeds for extra texture and fiber.
  • Once the apples are done, plate them and top with a generous spoonful of coconut yogurt. Drizzle with extra honey/maple syrup if desired.

Healthy Tips & Facts

  • Using coconut yogurt makes this recipe dairy-free. If you prefer a dairy-based option, you can substitute regular Greek yogurt.
  • Add chia seeds to boost the omega-3 and fiber content. They also add a bit of crunch.
  • Use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup to avoid refined sugars. Adjust the amount based on your sweetness preference.
  • For a bit of crunch, you can add toasted almonds or walnuts, but keep the portion small to keep it lighter.
