Cinnamon Apples with Toasted Walnuts and Maple Greek Yogurt

Did you know that Café Bon Appetit is a public-welcome dining option on the campus of William Jessup University?  Bon Appétit has been committed to “food service for a sustainable future” for decades, and had led the food service industry in tackling many important issues, such as cage-free eggs, antibiotics in animal production, and farmworker rights.

At the Northern California Campus in Rocklin, where we first learned about this healthy dining resource, staff and students enjoy clean eating with nutritious food, and, now the public is welcome to enjoy the menu.  When it comes to wellness, Bon Appetit’s focus is on simple, delicious food — that happens to be good for you. To support long-term health, the restaurant uses protein and many plant based ingredients to menus in a delicious way, while emphasizing healthy cooking techniques, like this warm and comforting dessert recipe featuring apples and Greek yogurt!

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

Warm apples provide carbohydrates and Greek yogurt adds protein to stimulate tryptophan while walnuts contain sleep-inducing melatonin. In the summertime, feel free to substitute peaches, blueberries, or cherries to enjoy the flavors of the season.
The nutritional stats are approximate and for our test, we used plain, unsweetened non-fat Greek Yogurt.
