Tips

• Use granny smith or fuji apples for a nice balance of tartness and sweetness.

• For extra fluffiness, separate the egg: beat the white to stiff peaks and fold in at the end.

• You can make a double batch in a bigger bowl if you want more than one serving.

If you want, I can make a “lower-sugar, extra-protein version” that uses just cottage cheese and oats but is still fluffy and apple-cinnamon flavored—perfect for breakfast or a snack 🍏💪. Do you want me to do that?
