Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized apples (Gala or Fuji are ideal for sweetness)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (feel free to use your favorite flavored yogurt for a twist)

2 tablespoons honey (adjust based on desired sweetness, optional)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional but adds warmth)

1/4 cup granola or crushed nuts (for a crunchy topping)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (to preserve freshness)

Wooden skewers or popsicle sticks (for easy handling, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples:

    - Begin by thoroughly washing and drying the apples to remove any residues. Core the apples and slice them into rings, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Keeping the skin on will enhance the texture and boost nutritional benefits.

      - In a mixing bowl, gently toss the apple rings with lemon juice to prevent browning and maintain their vibrant color.

        Make the Yogurt Mixture:

          - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (if you prefer added sweetness), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir the ingredients together until they are smooth and well-incorporated, creating a creamy and flavorful yogurt coating.

            Coat the Apple Rings:

              - Dip each apple ring into the yogurt mixture, ensuring every inch is fully coated. For ease, you can use a spoon to help spread the yogurt over the rings evenly.

                Freeze the Rings:

                  - Arrange the yogurt-coated apple rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching to avoid sticking. If you'd like, now is the time to insert wooden skewers into the rings for effortless enjoyment later.

                    - Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the apple rings to freeze for a minimum of 2-3 hours, or until they are solid and firm.

                      Serve:

                        - After the apple rings are frozen, take them out of the freezer. If they seem stuck to the parchment, let them sit out at room temperature for a couple of minutes to loosen.

                          - Before serving, sprinkle granola or crushed nuts on top for a delightful crunch, enhancing the overall texture and flavor. Enjoy your refreshing and delicious treat immediately!
