Understanding the balance of ingredients is crucial when crafting your Frozen Yogurt Cinnamon Apple Rings. The ratio of yogurt to sweetener not only affects the sweetness of your treat but also its creaminess. For instance, using a higher proportion of Greek yogurt will yield a tangier flavor profile, which contrasts beautifully with the natural sweetness of the apples. When adding cinnamon, the amount can be adjusted based on your preference for spice; a teaspoon provides a subtle warmth, while two teaspoons will give you a more pronounced flavor.

Ingredients
  

2 large apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Juice of ½ a lemon

¼ teaspoon sea salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, granola, or dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Start by thoroughly washing the apples under running water to remove any dirt or wax. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, carefully remove the cores and slice each apple into ¼-inch thick rings. Aim for uniform thickness for even freezing and texture.

    Prevent Browning: In a medium bowl, combine the juice of ½ a lemon with a cup of water to create a soaking solution. Immerse the apple rings in the lemon water for approximately 5 minutes; this will help prevent them from browning. After soaking, drain the rings and gently pat them dry with a clean paper towel.

      Create the Yogurt Mixture: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir the mixture with a whisk or spoon until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

        Coat the Apple Rings: Take each apple ring and dip it into the yogurt mixture, ensuring that each side is evenly coated. Allow any excess yogurt to drip off back into the bowl.

          Freeze the Apple Rings: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the coated apple rings on the baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart and do not touch each other. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the apple rings freeze for 2-3 hours, or until solid.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once the apple rings are completely frozen, feel free to enjoy them on their own or elevate their flavor by adding your favorite toppings. Consider sprinkling on some chopped nuts, a handful of granola, or a few dark chocolate chips for a delightful crunch and extra sweetness. Store any leftover rings in an airtight container in the freezer.
