Ingredients
2 slices whole grain bread
½ cup cottage cheese (small curd preferred)
½ medium apple (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Toast your bread slices to golden brown.
2. While the bread toasts, wash and slice half an apple into thin slices (peel optional).
3. Spread cottage cheese evenly over each slice of warm toast.
4. Arrange apple slices on top of the cottage cheese.
5. Sprinkle ground cinnamon generously over the apples.
6. If desired, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top.
7. Serve immediately while still warm.
Notes
For best texture, use sturdy whole grain bread and serve immediately to avoid sogginess. Small curd cottage cheese spreads most smoothly; drain in a sieve if watery. Slice apples thinly using a mandoline for even pieces. Store sliced apples with a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning. Dairy-free: use plant-based cottage cheese. Gluten-free: use gluten-free bread.
