Ingredients

  • 300 g Greek yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • Flaky sea salt
  • 2 Cosmic Crisp apples
  • crackers

Instructions

Make labaneh dip overnight
    Cup of Yum
  1. Lay out two layers of cheesecloth over a strainer, and pour the yogurt into it. Tie the yogurt in the cheesecloth, creating a little sack that can be hung up. Hang cheesecloth with yogurt to dry over a sink for at least eight hours, and up to 24 hours.
Flavour labaneh dip
  1. Add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon of salt to your freshly made homemade labaneh. Mix well to incorporate.
Dress crackers
  1. Smear about a teaspoon of labaneh dip on your favourite crackers. Top each cracker with two or three thin slices of apple.
  2. Finish off with salt, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch more cinnamon.

Notes

  • You can use gluten-free crackers to make this snack gluten-free. If looking for a completely grain-free version, use an apple circle as the base and top the labaneh and cinnamon on it.
  • For a dairy-free, vegan version, use cashew cheese.
