Honey Nut Cereal Apple Crunch Cups
Small apple cubes add a juicy crunch alongside the toasted cereal rings. Raisins and cinnamon season the fruit, while plain yogurt keeps the assembled cups creamy rather than overly sweet.

1 1/2 cups honey nut cerealCascadian Farm: USDA Organic- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 small apple, diced
- 1 tablespoon raisins
1/4 teaspoon cinnamonMorton & Bassett: USDA Organic
Amounts above are for cooking. Products are sold in retail packages; pantry extras may be needed.
Method
Dice the apple
Wash and core the apple, then cut into small 1/4-inch cubes. Leave the skin on for texture or peel it for a softer bite.
Season the fruit
Toss apple with raisins and cinnamon for 20 seconds, until the spice coats the pieces. Separate any clumps of raisins.
Spoon the yogurt
Divide cold yogurt between two cups. Add the apple mixture in a loose layer so it does not sink into the yogurt.
Add cereal rings
Top each cup with half the cereal immediately before serving. Eat within a few minutes, while the rings remain crisp and distinct.
Kitchen tips
Cut the apple small enough to share a spoonful with the cereal rather than sitting in large chunks.
For easy packing, use a separate dry container for the cereal instead of layering it in advance.
Substitutions
A dairy-free plain yogurt can replace the milk-based yogurt; review all ingredient labels.
The original cereal contains wheat and barley. For a gluten-free variation, choose a labeled gluten-free ring cereal instead.
Storage
Keep the apple mixture and yogurt chilled for up to 1 day; add cereal only at serving.
Serving suggestions
Serve the two cups with spoons and extra apple wedges for anyone who wants more fruit.
Make ahead
Refrigerate cinnamon apples and yogurt separately for up to 1 day. Add cereal only when eating; it loses its crispness in a packed layered cup.

Will the apple brown overnight?
It may darken slightly after cutting. Dice it just before serving for the freshest appearance, or keep the cut fruit tightly covered and chilled.
Can I leave out the raisins?
Yes. The apple and cereal already bring sweetness, so the cups work without an additional dried-fruit ingredient.
