Ingredients
  

2 large crisp apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup granola (for topping)

1/4 cup mixed berries (optional, for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples:

    - Wash and dry the apples. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Remove the core from each slice using an apple corer or small knife, ensuring you leave a hole in the center of each slice for the yogurt filling.

      Make the Yogurt Mixture:

        - In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.

          Stuff the Apple Slices:

            - Using a spoon or a piping bag, generously fill each apple slice with the yogurt mixture, ensuring to fill the center well.

              Freeze the Apple Slices:

                - Place the stuffed apple slices onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all slices are filled and arranged, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until the yogurt is firm.

                  Serve:

                    - Once frozen, remove the apple slices from the freezer. Sprinkle granola over the yogurt side of each slice. If desired, top with mixed berries and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.

                      Enjoy:

                        - Serve immediately as a refreshing snack or dessert. You can keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
