FAQ
What is quark and why use it in this bowl?
Quark is a soft, fresh dairy product high in protein; it makes a creamy, satisfying base for the bowl.
Can I make this vegan or lactose-free?
Yes: use plant-based yogurt or lactose-free quark. The texture may be a touch different.
Which apples work best?
Crisp varieties like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala work well; choose apples you enjoy eating fresh.
How much fiber and protein does it provide per serving?

How do I prepare it quickly?
Chop the apple, scoop quark into a bowl, mix in the apple, and top with nuts; add optional cinnamon, a drizzle of honey, or lemon zest.
How should I store leftovers?
Best eaten fresh, but refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container for 1–2 days. Add the apples later to prevent browning.
