This is actually a recipe from my childhood. My mother used to make this for me for breakfast or an afternoon snack. I had completely forgotten about it until she reminded me about it and I was so excited to make it again. It’s a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack and can be made in a snap! I’m sorry for the lack of a picture of the finished product. Seems like every time I make it, I’m most of the way through the bowl before I remember I should have taken a picture!
Apple “Muesli” (grain free)
1 generous serving
1 apple, any variety, washed and cut unto chunks
1/8 cup almonds
1/8 cup walnuts
1/8 cup shredded coconut
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
In a food processor, place the nuts and whiz until they are coarsely chopped. Add the coconut, apple, maple syrup and cinnamon and whiz a couple times until the apple is also coarsely chopped. Serve immediately.

Wow, I wish my mom had made that for me!
Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing. We have so many apples at the moment, so I’m always looking for ways to use them up.
I hope you enjoy it. It’s such a simple recipe and so fast to make. Great for those mornings when you don’t have much time!
I’m drooling and wishing that I had some apples right now. (Should I be embarrassed to admit that?) Thanks for the idea for my future breakfasts, though. I have a very limited breakfast menu.
Sorry I’ve been so slow at responding to comments. Since my blog has been having so many issues, I’m a little behind! I see that you’ve already tried it and I am oh so happy that you enjoyed it!
Guess what I’m eating right now!
Silly me, I didn’t print out the recipe, but thought I could remember it. So… mine is made of an apple and 1/4 cup of the nuts and coconut. That’s a lot of breakfast!!! I rarely eat any sweeteners so I didn’t add the maple syrup. This big, honkin’ bowl of breakfast is wonderfully sweet without it!
Thanks for the recipe (even if I didn’t follow it correctly)! Delicious!
Yay! So glad you liked it. Yeah. depending on how big your apple is, it can end up making enough for two people. All of my gala apples have been really small recently, so it’s been the perfect serving for me. So glad you enjoyed it!
yum…looks very delicious and healthy too. I never try this recipe yet. Thank you for sharing. Dropping some love for Food Trip Friday, hope that you can return the favor too.

Hi Jessica! Great name!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. This is one of my favorite breakfasts. I’ll head over and check out your blog 
This sounds wonderful and easy! It could be made even healthier if
I soak the nuts first, and peel the almonds!
