Ingredients
  

2 large apples (ideally Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your preferred sweetness level)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans), granola, or an extra sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Use your hands to toss the mixture gently until each apple slice is evenly coated with sugar and cinnamon. Set this apple mixture aside for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the apples to release some juices.

    Make the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt. Whisk in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. This creamy yogurt base will complement the cinnamon apples wonderfully.

      Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the cinnamon-sugar apple mixture into the yogurt base using a spatula. Be gentle, as you want to maintain some intact apple slices to create enticing swirls. Avoid overmixing to preserve the marbled appearance.

        Chill the Mixture: Transfer the yogurt-apple combination into a loaf pan or an airtight container. Spread it into an even layer while ensuring that the apple swirls are visible throughout the mixture.

          Freeze: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the freezer for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until the mixture is completely frozen and firm.

            Serve: To serve, allow the frozen yogurt to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Scoop the delightful mixture into bowls, and if desired, top with chopped nuts, granola, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

              Enjoy!: Your Frozen Yogurt Cinnamon Apple Swirls are now ready to be savored! Delight in the creamy, tart, and sweet flavors, enhanced by the delightful crunch of fresh apples.
