Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized apples, cored and sliced into 1-inch rings

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup fresh cranberries (or frozen, thawed)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup granola (optional, for topping)

Popsicle sticks

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Start by coring the apples and slicing them into 1-inch thick rings. Ensure the slices are uniform to allow for even freezing.

    Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup for vegan options), vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.

      Incorporate Cranberries: Gently fold the fresh cranberries into the yogurt mixture. If you prefer smaller pieces for added texture, feel free to lightly mash some of the cranberries as you mix them in.

        Coat Apple Slices: Dip each apple ring into the yogurt mixture, ensuring that both sides are thoroughly coated. Allow any excess yogurt to drip off before placing the rings on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

          Optional Granola Topping: If you like a crunch, sprinkle a generous layer of granola onto one side of each coated apple ring.

            Insert Popsicle Sticks: Take a popsicle stick and gently press it into the bottom of each apple ring. If you find the yogurt mixture is too slippery for the sticks to stay in place, freeze the apple rings for about 10-15 minutes before inserting the sticks.

              Freeze: Place the baking sheet with the coated apple rings into the freezer and let them freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours or until completely solid.

                Serve: When ready to enjoy, remove the Cranberry Bliss Apple Pops from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about a minute to make removal easier. Indulge in your refreshing fruit pops on a warm day!
