To achieve the perfect Crunchy Apple Bliss Frozen Yogurt Bars, evenly distributing the apples is crucial. Start by chopping the apples into small, uniform pieces. This ensures that every bite is filled with apple goodness and prevents larger chunks from sinking to the bottom during the freezing process.

Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (opt for your favorite variety, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)

1/2 cup granola (cinnamon-flavored granola adds a nice touch)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for extra crunch)

A pinch of salt

Fresh apple slices and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Dish: Start by lining an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some overhang on the sides, which will make it easier to lift the bars out once frozen.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients are well blended and the mixture is smooth.

      Add the Apples: Carefully fold in the diced apples into the yogurt mixture. Ensure that the apple pieces are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for balanced flavor in each bite.

        Layer in the Dish: Pour the yogurt and apple mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, smoothing the top to create a uniform layer.

          Top with Granola and Nuts: Sprinkle the granola and optional chopped nuts evenly over the top of the yogurt mixture. For better adhesion, gently press down with your fingertips.

            Freeze: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn, then place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until it is completely solid.

              Slice and Serve: Once fully frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and carefully lift the bars out using the overhanging parchment paper. Cut into bars using a sharp knife for clean edges.

                Garnish and Enjoy: If desired, garnish the bars with fresh apple slices and an extra dusting of cinnamon for added appeal. Return any leftovers to the freezer in an airtight container, where they will keep for up to 2 weeks. Savor your refreshing Frozen Yogurt Apple Cinnamon Bars as a delightful treat!
