Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla based on preference)

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for added crunch)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely diced apples with ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Mix well until the apples are thoroughly coated. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, the remaining honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined, creating a creamy mixture.

      Combine Ingredients: Carefully fold the prepared apple mixture into the yogurt base. Add in the rolled oats and chopped nuts (if using). Gently mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, being careful not to break down the apple pieces.

        Line the Pan: Take an 8x8 inch square baking dish and line it with parchment paper, ensuring that there's an overhang on the sides to aid in easy removal later.

          Spread the Mixture: Pour the yogurt-apple mixture into the lined baking dish. Use a spatula to evenly spread the mixture, smoothing the top for an even finish.

            Freeze: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is completely solid.

              Slice and Serve: Once fully frozen, carefully lift the mixture out of the dish using the overhanging parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to slice it into squares. Serve immediately for a refreshing snack, or store the squares in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. Enjoy this delightful treat!
