# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Ready in 10 minutes with zero cooking, perfect when you want something real but have no time.
- The contrast between the soft yogurt and crisp apple slices keeps every spoonful interesting.
- It tastes like you're taking care of yourself, but it's actually just fruit and yogurt playing together.
02 -
- Don't let it sit in the fridge before serving; the apples soften and the yogurt thins, and you lose that contrast that makes it special.
- The lemon juice isn't optional—it's the safeguard against browning and the secret brightness that keeps this from feeling heavy.
03 -
- Chill your bowls for five minutes before serving—the cold makes the texture feel even more refreshing and slows down browning if you're being slow about eating.
- Use a microplane to grate fresh cinnamon over the top instead of the ground kind; it looks nicer and tastes sharper, like you actually know what you're doing.
