Ingredients
  

2 large apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans), granola, or an extra sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples with the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Gently toss to ensure the apple slices are thoroughly coated in the sugar and spice mixture. Set aside for about 15 minutes to allow the apples to soften slightly and their flavors to meld.

    Make the Yogurt Base: In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients are smooth and well combined. This creamy mixture will serve as the base for your delightful swirls.

      Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the cinnamon-sugar apple mixture into the yogurt base. Be gentle during this step to preserve some of the apple slices intact, ensuring beautiful swirls and a marbled appearance. Aim for a mix that showcases both the yogurt and the apples without overmixing.

        Chill the Mixture: Transfer the yogurt-apple mixture into a loaf pan or any airtight container. Spread it out evenly, making sure to retain visible swirls of apple throughout the mixture for aesthetic appeal.

          Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a tightly fitting lid. Place it in the freezer for at least 4 to 6 hours or until it has completely frozen.

            Serve: Before serving, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften just enough for easy scooping. Use an ice cream scoop to portion the mixture into bowls.

              Enjoy!: Top each serving with your choice of chopped nuts, a sprinkle of granola, or an additional dash of cinnamon. Savor the creamy, tart, and sweet flavors, complemented by the delightful crunch of the apple pieces.
