Apple pie, but make it into a sourdough toast! I cannot think of a better autumn toast to celebrate apple season!

Why you will love this apple pie toast with yogurt
Protein: The Greek Yogurt with the added vanilla protein powder gives this toast an extra boost of protein!
Seasonal: Even though you can enjoy this toast year-around, the apples with the warm spices make it perfect for autumn!
Flavorful: The spiced apples with the vanilla protein yogurt creates a toast that is packed with flavor and taste like an apple pie in a sourdough toast form.
What type of apple to use?
You can use your favorite apple for this sweet toast! But here are some apples that I recommend to use.
Honeycrisp: One of my favorites choices for this apple toast. It has a nice balance between sweet and tart.
Pink Lady: This apple has a crisp texture, and falls on the tarter side but still has a nice touch of sweetness.
Gala: This apple is on the sweeter side and has a crisp texture.
Golden Delicious: This tart and lightly sweet apple has a mild flavor.
Ambrosia: This juicy apple is sweet and crisp.
Can I skip the protein powder in the yogurt?
Yes! If you do not want to add the protein powder to the Greek yogurt, you can skip it! I recommend that if you opt to leave the protein powder out, you either use a vanilla flavored Greek yogurt or just add a dash of vanilla extract and honey to the plain Greek yogurt. But if you want to keep the sugar low, a plain Greek yogurt will still be delicious with the sauteed apples and walnuts.
What you need to make this apple pie toast
Apple: You will need one sliced apple to sauté with the warm spices to create those apple pie vibes.
Butter: You will need a little bit of butter to sauté the apples. You can swap for coconut oil.
Honey: Adds sweetness to the apples. You can use maple syrup instead if you wish.
Cinnamon: Creates depth of flavor and warmth to the apples.
Cloves: A pinch of cloves provides more warm apple pie flavors. You can swap for allspice.
Plain Greek Yogurt: A plain Greek Yogurt adds a creamy texture while providing protein.
Vanilla Protein Powder: Use your favorite protein powder to mix with the Greek yogurt. You can leave out if you wish.
Sourdough Bread: A hearty slice of sourdough toast holds all the tasty apple toppings.
Walnuts: A sprinkle of walnuts gives texture and flavor. You can swap for pecans or leave off the toast if you wish.
