Ingredients
  

For the Yogurt Mixture:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Apple Filling:

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

For the Sandwich Assembly:

1 cup granola or crushed graham crackers

8 whole grain or oatmeal cookies (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Make the Apple Filling:

    - In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until bubbling slightly.

      - Add the diced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and fresh lemon juice to the skillet.

        - Sauté the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become tender and caramelized.

          - Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside to cool while you prepare the yogurt mixture.

            Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

              - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.

                - Using a whisk or spatula, mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

                  Assemble the Sandwiches:

                    - Take one cookie and generously spread a portion of the yogurt mixture on the bottom side.

                      - On top of the yogurt layer, spoon a portion of the apple filling, ensuring it's evenly spread.

                        - For an added crunch, sprinkle a tablespoon of granola or crushed graham crackers over the apple filling.

                          - Place another cookie on top, bottom side down, to complete the sandwich. Gently press down to help meld the layers together.

                            Freeze:

                              - Carefully arrange the assembled yogurt sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching each other.

                                - Freeze the sandwiches for at least 2 hours, or until they are fully set and firm.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Once frozen, feel free to cut the sandwiches in half for easier handling, if desired. Serve immediately as a refreshing dessert or snack.

                                      - Alternatively, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
