Ingredients

2 medium apples (red apples give more natural sweetness)

1–2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Optional: cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla (no sugar added)

Instructions

Prepare the apples:
Wash, peel (optional), and chop apples into small pieces.

Cook the apples:
Add apples to a small pot with 2–3 tablespoons of water.
Cook on low heat for 7–10 minutes until soft.

Mash:
Use a fork or masher to create a smooth or chunky apple mash.

Add cocoa:
Sprinkle 1–2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder over the warm apples.
Mix well until fully combined.

Serve:
Enjoy warm like a cozy “chocolate apple pudding” or refrigerate and eat cold.

Tips

Use Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp apples for best natural sweetness.

For extra flavor without calories, add cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla essence.

If mixture feels too thick, add a splash of warm water.

Turn it into a smoothie by blending the mixture with ½ cup water or milk alternative.

Great as a morning snack, dessert, or late-night craving fix.
