Notes
Feel free to swap the diced apple with other fruits like pears, blueberries, or chopped bananas for a different flavor.
Skip the walnuts or pecans to keep this nut-free, or use sunflower seeds for added crunch.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave.
