Best ways to enjoy it

This Apple Yogurt Flan can stand beautifully on its own, but it’s even better with a few simple additions. Consider serving it with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream can elevate it to a spectacular dessert. Pair it with a cup of herbal tea or a glass of dessert wine for a perfect ending to any meal.

Storage and reheating tips

If you find yourself with leftovers (which is often a rarity with this luscious flan), fret not! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. It can be enjoyed cold or gently reheated in a microwave for a few seconds. If you want to store it for longer, you can freeze individual slices. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer-safe bag. It’s best consumed within a month for optimal flavor.

Helpful cooking tips

• Choose apples that are firm and sweet; they will hold their shape better when baked.
• To add more texture, toss in some nuts or coconut flakes when folding in the apple slices.
• Make sure to let the flan cool completely before serving; this helps it set properly and enhances the flavors.
