Instructions

1. Add the diced apple, cinnamon, apple pie spice, vanilla, salt, and 1 tablespoon water to a small skillet over medium heat.
2. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apple is warm and fork-tender but still holds its shape. Remove from the heat and cool for 3 minutes.
3. Stir the Greek yogurt, protein powder, 1 1/2 tablespoons almond butter, and 2 tablespoons water until completely smooth and thick. Add only enough extra water to reach a cheesecake-like consistency.
4. Spoon half of the cheesecake mixture into a clear glass dessert dish and add half of the warm apples.
5. Repeat the layers, then drizzle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon almond butter over the top.
6. Serve immediately while the apples are warm.

40/400 Notes

• Use a clear glass dessert dish so the cheesecake and apple layers remain visible.
• For meal prep, refrigerate the yogurt mixture and cooked apples separately and assemble immediately before serving.
• Weigh the edible apple portion to 2 ounces to keep the listed sugar and macros consistent.
