Creamy Apple Cinnamon Bowl

Last week I came across a recipe similar to this one in an email from Hungry Girl. I looked at the ingredients and decided I HAD to have it for breakfast that morning. I just looked too yummy! I made just a couple changes based on what I had in my cupboard.

Hungry Girl has some awesome and healthy recipes on her website www.hungrygirl.com as well as a collection of rockin' cook books. If you haven't discovered her yet, what are you waiting for?

Ingredients

1/2 cup low-fat small curd cottage cheese
1 tsp cinnamon sugar mixture (really it's 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and 1/2 tsp granulated
sugar. I have a dish of this pre-made for a variety of recipes, or to sprinkle on toast
occasionally)
1/4-1/2 tsp vanilla extract based on taste preference
1 crisp apple cored and cut into chunks


Directions

-Put cottage cheese, cinnamon sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. Mix together.
-Top with apples
-Eat!

Optional: Add raisins, dried cranberries, walnuts, or any other dried fruits, nuts, or granola to mix it up. Just make sure you factor in the extra calories.
