Stir together this simple, yet so flavorful, Apple Yogurt for a quick baby snack, toddler breakfast, or adult breakfast. It’s so good plain, with granola, or a sprinkle of hemp seeds.
This yogurt is one that I’ve offered my kids since they were babies because it’s easy to keep the ingredients on hand, and it takes about two minutes to make.
This apple yogurt is great because it’s rich in calcium, probiotics, and protein—and tastes so good.
And much like my Vanilla Yogurt and my Banana Yogurt, this easy recipe is can be made without added sugars or sweetened to taste. It’s so versatile!
For ease, I use applesauce to add the apple flavor because it’s the fastest option. But you can also make this with Sauteed Apples, Sliced Baked Apples, and Stewed Apples so you can choose the option that works best for you.
