Chef John Recipe ⤑ The Ben Franklin Breakfast Bowl

As Ben Franklin used to say, 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away.' To get a daily dose, I enjoy one of these beautiful breakfast bowls almost every morning. I sometimes garnish with diced persimmon and roasted almonds, but there's no need for honey or dried fruit - it's very satisfying without the added sugar.

Ingredients

• 1 cold apple
• 1 (6 ounce) container plain sheep's milk yogurt
• 2 tablespoons granola

Cooking Directions

1. Place your knife about 1/4 inch from the stem of the apple and cut downwards. Place apple cut side-down and continue cutting straight down all around the core. Discard core and cut apple pieces into cubes.
2. Transfer apple cubes to a bowl. Spoon on yogurt and add granola.
