Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting the Granny Smith apple with a sweeter variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp. You can also replace chopped almonds with walnuts or pecans for a different nutty taste. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, drizzle in some honey instead of using sugar. This dish can also be made vegan by using plant-based yogurt.

For an extra touch, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or serve alongside a slice of Peg'S Easy Pecan Pie for a delightful contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain the texture of the apple, avoid freezing this treat as it may become mushy upon thawing. Simply give it a good stir before serving again if the ingredients separate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain?
