Hi friends!
Let’s chat about healthy apple breakfast recipes! This post was originally published in the Fall after a weekend of apple picking. I found myself with a surplus of apples and started looking for some quick and easy ways to use them up. Apples are a great addition to pretty much any meal, any time of day. I focused on breakfast ideas with apples because breakfast is often the meal my kids eat best and I’m always looking for new healthy options for them. So why not add some apple breakfast ideas to the rotation, right?! If you’re looking beyond breakfast, here are 15 Healthy Recipes Using Apples for lunch, dinner snack time and even dessert!
In addition to being naturally sweet, apples are a great source of fiber if you leave the skin on! Fiber helps keep you full and satisfied, especially when paired with protein and/or healthy fats!
All of these recipes have me drooling and I plan to work my way through the list. Join me? Who doesn’t need more healthy apple recipes for breakfast?

This couldn’t have come at a better time! Last weekend, my family and I went to an orchard and we came home with way too many bags of apples! Now, I have some ideas on what to do with them! 🙂
I literally JUST added apples to my grocery list when this post came up on my bloglovin feed. The muffins look like they need to make an appearance this weekend. Thank you!

I love that you did apples instead of pumpkin because I’ve been crushing on them hardcore lately. I think homemade applesauce is where most of my apples go, but I’ve been loving them in smoothies as well. Thanks for including my muffins, lady!
I love this roundup! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I just can’t get enough apples right now. Thank you for including my smoothie! Have fun apple picking!
Going apple picking this weekend too, thanks Lindsay! Can’t wait to bake up those apple oat greek yogurt muffins 🙂
Apples & cinnamon steal my heart every time! I made gluten free apple crumb bars last weekend. That oatmeal though. That may have to happen this weekend!
