Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 large apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Pan: Take an 8x8 inch square baking dish and line it with parchment paper, letting the excess hang over the sides. This will allow you to easily lift the frozen yogurt block out for cutting later on.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or spoon to blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring that the honey is well incorporated.

      Add Apples and Oats: Carefully fold in the finely diced apple and rolled oats into the yogurt mixture. Make sure the apple pieces are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for a balanced flavor in every bite.

        Incorporate Nuts: Add the chopped nuts to the mixture for added texture and a delightful crunch. Stir gently until the nuts are evenly mixed in.

          Pour into Pan: Transfer the yogurt mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it smoothly, ensuring it is evenly distributed and the top is level.

            Freeze: Cover the dish securely with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent freezer odors from seeping in. Place it in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 to 5 hours, or until it is completely firm.

              Cut into Squares: Once the yogurt mixture is fully frozen, remove the dish from the freezer. Lift the yogurt block out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice it into squares or bars of your desired size.

                Serve: For the best texture, let the squares sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving. These treats make a perfect refreshing snack or dessert!

                  Store: If you have any leftovers, place them in an airtight container, layering parchment paper between the squares to keep them from sticking together. Store in the freezer for up to a month for your next craving.
