Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

2 medium apples, diced (choose Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for sweetness)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your preferred sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (your favorite variety)

1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional for added texture)

Fresh apple slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples with the ground cinnamon and honey or maple syrup. Toss the mixture gently until the apples are thoroughly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors blend beautifully.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth, creamy, and well combined. This will be the base for your snack jars.

      Assemble the Jars: Gather four small glass jars or containers. Start by spooning in 1/4 cup of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of each jar, creating a creamy base.

        Add the Apples: On top of the yogurt, add a generous spoonful of the cinnamon apple mixture (approximately 1/4 cup) to each jar.

          Incorporate Granola: Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of granola over the layer of apples in each jar for a delightful crunch.

            Repeat the Layers: Continue layering by adding another 1/4 cup of yogurt, followed by a layer of apples, and then granola, until the jars are filled to the top. Ensure the last layer is granola for a satisfying finish.

              Optional Toppings: If you choose, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans on the top layer for extra texture and flavor. Finish with fresh apple slices and a light dusting of cinnamon for an appealing presentation.

                Chill and Serve: Cover each jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for optimal flavor. Enjoy your refreshing Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Snack Jars straight from the fridge for a delightful treat!
