Ingredients
  

2 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt

2 medium apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled and diced into small cubes

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (feel free to adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

A pinch of salt

Optional: Chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, fresh lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all the apple pieces are evenly coated. Allow this mixture to rest for about 10-15 minutes. This will enhance the flavors and help soften the apples slightly.

    Make the Yogurt Base: In a separate large bowl, mix the full-fat Greek yogurt and pure vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If you prefer a sweeter yogurt, taste and adjust by adding more honey or maple syrup according to your liking.

      Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the cinnamon apple mixture into your yogurt base. Be cautious during this step to maintain some apple chunks for added texture and bite.

        Swirl it Up: Using a rubber spatula, carefully swirl the apple-yogurt mixture together, creating beautiful marbled patterns. Aim for visible swirls of cinnamon apple throughout, rather than fully blending the ingredients.

          Freeze: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with your spatula. Cover securely with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the frozen yogurt is firm.

            Serve: Once you’re ready to indulge, remove the frozen yogurt from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes. This will help soften it for easy scooping. Serve in bowls, and sprinkle with your choice of chopped nuts for an extra crunch if desired.

              Enjoy: Relish in the delightful harmony of cinnamon, apple, and creamy yogurt in every delicious swirl!
