Ingredients
  

3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granola (optional, for added crunch)

2 cups vanilla-flavored yogurt (Greek or regular)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced Granny Smith apples with the lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and brown sugar. Gently toss the ingredients together until the apples are thoroughly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes; this resting time helps the flavors meld beautifully.

    Create the Yogurt Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt and pure vanilla extract until both ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.

      Combine: Carefully add the spiced apple mixture into the yogurt blend, folding gently with a spatula until the apples are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt. Avoid vigorous stirring to maintain the integrity of the apple pieces.

        Add Granola: If you’re using granola, gently fold it into the mixture at this stage. Use a rubber spatula to help preserve the granola's crunchiness.

          Fill Molds: Spoon the yogurt-apple blend into silicone ice cube trays or muffin tins, filling each compartment about three-quarters full. Give the trays a light tap on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles and ensure even filling.

            Freeze: Place the filled trays in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Serve: Once fully frozen, carefully pop the chunks out of the molds. Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers generously on top for an extra layer of flavor and texture. Serve immediately for the best experience!

                Storage: Any leftover chunks can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month, ensuring you always have a refreshing treat on hand.
