Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose between plain or vanilla flavor)

2 firm apples (like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup granola (select your favorite kind, ideally lightly sweetened)

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

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans are excellent options)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples with ground cinnamon, honey or maple syrup (if you wish), and a pinch of salt. Toss well to ensure the apples are coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors infuse and the apples soften slightly.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a separate bowl, add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and well combined. If you prefer a sweeter yogurt, consider adding a bit more honey or maple syrup, tasting as you go.

      Layer the Ingredients: Start assembling your snack jars. In the bottom of each jar, add approximately 1/4 cup of the yogurt mixture. Next, layer about 1/4 of the apple mixture on top of the yogurt, followed by a sprinkle of granola (approximately 2 tablespoons).

        Repeat the Layers: Continue to layer the ingredients in each jar until they are filled nearly to the top. Depending on the size of your jars, aim for 2-3 layers, finishing each jar with a dollop of granola and a generous sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture.

          Chill and Serve: Once all jars are assembled, cover them and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully. Serve chilled, and delight in this refreshing Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Snack!
