- Heat the oven to 200˚C (400˚F). Line a square 20 cm (8 in) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 Cut the apple into twelve 0.5 cm (1/4 in) slices, discarding the core. Place the apple slices on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with the melted butter and use your hands to coat them. Arrange them on the baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the tops of the apple slices with half the cinnamon. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn the apple slices to the other side. Sprinkle them with the remaining cinnamon. Keep baking them until golden brown and tender, about 10 more minutes. Drizzle with the pan juices.
- Place baked apple slices on 2 small plates or saucers. Cover the apples with a dollop of Greek yogurt, macadamia nuts and granola (if desired). Serve.
