Ingredients
  

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup pecans, roughly chopped

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose between plain or vanilla for flavor)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Begin by peeling and coring the apples, then dice them into small, bite-sized cubes. For extra crunch in your clusters, feel free to adjust the size of the apple pieces based on your liking.

    Make the Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and beautifully blended.

      Combine Apples and Pecans: In a separate bowl, add the diced apples and chopped pecans. Stir well to ensure the pecans are evenly dispersed throughout the apples for a delightful crunch in every bite.

        Fold in the Yogurt: Carefully fold the apple-pecan mixture into the yogurt base. Gently stir to coat the apples and pecans fully with the creamy yogurt mixture, being mindful not to mash the apples.

          Shape the Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a spoon, scoop out portions of the apple-pecan-yogurt blend and drop them onto the parchment, forming disc-like clusters.

            Freeze the Clusters: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze for at least 3 hours, or until they are completely solid and firm.

              Store and Serve: Once frozen, gently lift the clusters off the parchment paper and transfer them to an airtight container for storage in the freezer. Serve these delightful, healthy treats straight from the freezer for a refreshing snack any time!
