Ingredients

• 2 large crisp apples, cored and sliced into thin wedges
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp honey
• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 3 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
• 2 tbsp chopped toasted almonds
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tbsp extra honey for drizzling

Instructions

1. 1Core the apples and cut them into thin, even wedges so they cook quickly and stay slightly crisp.
2. 2Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until it foams gently.
3. 3Add the apple wedges in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes so the cut sides begin to caramelize.
4. 4Sprinkle the cinnamon, cardamom, and salt over the apples, then drizzle with honey. Toss gently to coat.
5. 5Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender-crisp and glossy with caramelized edges, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Remove from heat.
6. 6Divide the Greek yogurt between two bowls, swirling it into a soft nest.
7. 7Spoon the warm spiced apples and any skillet juices over the yogurt while still hot so the contrast of temperatures is vivid.
8. 8Scatter the toasted pumpkin seeds and chopped almonds on top for crunch.
9. 9Finish with a light sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves and an extra drizzle of honey. Serve immediately while the apples are warm and fragrant.
