Deliciously creamy Cinnamon Apple Greek Yogurt Pudding Cups topped with caramelized apples and pecans for a delightful breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease four individual oven-safe ramekins.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, brown sugar, maple syrup, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Divide the yogurt mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the centers are just set.
- While the pudding bakes, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced apples, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the apples.
- Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become tender and glossy with a delicious caramelized coating.
- Remove the pudding cups from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Spoon the warm cinnamon apples over each pudding cup. Sprinkle with chopped pecans if desired.
- Serve warm or chilled with an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- Ensure the apples are tender but not mushy for the best texture.
- Can substitute pecans with walnuts or omit for a nut-free option.
- Great for meal prep, can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
