Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla for your preference)

2 medium apples (opt for Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for sweetness), peeled and diced into small bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

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

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional for a hint of sweetness)

Extra ground cinnamon for garnish

4 small mason jars or serving cups

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Begin by peeling the apples and cutting them into small pieces. To prevent browning, you can toss the diced apples with a splash of lemon juice.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with your choice of honey or maple syrup, along with the teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and the yogurt is evenly sweetened and infused with cinnamon.

      Layer the Jars: Take your mason jars and spoon a generous amount of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of each one. Next, add a layer of the diced apples, followed by a sprinkle of rolled oats for texture.

        Repeat Layers: Continue the layering process: add another layer of the yogurt mixture, followed by more diced apples and another sprinkle of rolled oats. Repeat until the jars are filled to the top, ensuring to finish with a luscious layer of yogurt.

          Add Toppings: For an enjoyable crunch, top each jar with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans. Then, add a handful of raisins or dried cranberries to introduce a delicious sweetness. For an aromatic touch, finish with a light dusting of extra ground cinnamon on top.

            Chill and Serve: Cover the jars with their lids or with plastic wrap, and place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve cold as a delightful snack or a nutritious breakfast option.
