Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (your choice)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

      Combine: Gradually fold the marinated apples into the yogurt mixture. Ensure that the apple pieces are evenly dispersed throughout the yogurt.

        Add Texture: Gently fold in the granola and chopped walnuts (if using) to add a pleasant crunch to your squares.

          Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

            Pour and Smooth: Pour the yogurt-apple mixture into the prepared dish. Use a spatula to evenly spread and smooth the top.

              Freeze: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

                Slice and Serve: Once frozen, remove from the freezer. Lift the mixture out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares.

                  Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, sprinkle some additional cinnamon or granola on top of the squares before serving.

                    Enjoy: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
