- 1/2 cup(s) sugar '
- 1/4 Tsp kosher salt

- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

- Bring to a low boil, then cover pot and turn off heat.
- Allow to sit for 30 minutes or until apples are very tender and easily pierced with a toothpick.
- Strain off liquid place apples into a container with and refrigerate until fully cooled. For best results refrigerate apples overnight. To serve, place yogurt into bowls, top with apples and finish with granola. Drizzle honey to garnish if desired.
