Toast the bread: Begin by toasting the slices of bread to your desired level of crispiness. You can do this in a toaster or in a skillet over medium heat with a bit of butter or oil. Set aside.
- Sauté the cinnamon apples: In a medium skillet, melt the butter (or coconut oil) over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, a pinch of salt, and cinnamon. Stir to coat the apples in the cinnamon and butter. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. Add the maple syrup (or honey) and stir to combine. Let the apples cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the syrup to caramelize slightly.
- Assemble the toast: Spread a generous amount of yogurt on each piece of toasted bread. You can add a dollop of yogurt or spread it evenly across the surface.
- Top with sautéed apples: Spoon the warm sautéed cinnamon apples onto the yogurt-covered toast. Make sure to drizzle any remaining cinnamon syrup from the pan over the apples for extra flavor.
- Optional garnishes: If desired, top with chopped nuts or seeds (such as walnuts, almonds, or chia seeds) for some crunch, or sprinkle with additional cinnamon. A fresh mint leaf can also add a refreshing touch to the dish.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy this warm, satisfying toast as a delicious breakfast, brunch, or snack!
