Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), diced

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for added crunch)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional for a touch of sweetness)

Extra ground cinnamon for garnish

4 small mason jars or serving cups

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Begin by washing and peeling the apples. Cut them into small, bite-sized pieces. To prevent browning, toss the diced apples with a sprinkle of lemon juice (optional).

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and the honey is evenly distributed, creating a lightly sweetened yogurt base.

      Layer the Jars: Begin assembling the jars by adding a generous spoonful of the yogurt mixture to the bottom of each mason jar. Next, add a layer of the diced apples, followed by a sprinkle of rolled oats for texture.

        Repeat Layers: Continue the layering process with another spoonful of yogurt, more diced apples, and additional oats. Repeat until each jar is filled to the top, making sure to finish with a layer of the delicious yogurt mixture.

          Add Toppings: For the finishing touch, sprinkle each jar with a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to introduce a delightful crunch, and add a few raisins or dried cranberries for a burst of sweetness. Optionally, dust a light sprinkle of extra ground cinnamon on top for an aromatic touch.

            Chill and Serve: Seal the jars with their lids or cover with plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled as a convenient and nutritious snack or an energizing breakfast option.
