Caramelized Apple and Yoghurt Dessert is a refreshing dessert which is perfect after a heavy meal. It cleanses the palette and is light and delicate. There are only a few ingredients but they all work perfectly in harmony with very little effort. Serve as a dessert or for breakfast/brunch. I add a little cinnamon for that spice and warmth hit which is just enough without being too much.
You can add layers of apple and yoghurt but also a number of other ingredients can be included. Try soaking sultanas in a little brandy or cognac for an adult version. Or smash up biscuits and make layers between the yoghurt and apple. My favourite is ginger nuts for that extra crunch and flavour. However shortbread and plain cookies well well as well.
With Caramelized Apple and Yoghurt Dessert you can also use a flavoured yoghurt such as strawberry. This goes very well with the apple and my grandchildren love it. Also try adding a different topping . Crushed pecans or walnuts, toasted almonds or a drizzle of maple syrup.
I make the apple up to 2 days in advance and store in an air tight container in the fridge. If your using biscuits then the dish can be constructed in advance as well just clingfilm the top tightly. If you have other fruit that is ripe, try using it instead of apples. Pears work perfectly for example.
