Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 medium apple, diced into small pieces (preferably a sweet variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp)

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, optional cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Using a whisk or spatula, mix thoroughly until all ingredients are blended together and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Add the Apples and Pecans:

        - Carefully fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans into the yogurt mixture. Aim for an even distribution so that each cluster has a delightful mix of flavors and textures.

          Scoop and Shape:

            - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a tablespoon, scoop generous amounts of the yogurt mixture and drop them onto the lined baking sheet. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of the spoon to create small clusters that will freeze evenly.

              Freeze the Clusters:

                - Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze for 2-3 hours, or until they are completely solid.

                  Store and Serve:

                    - After freezing, transfer the yogurt clusters to an airtight container and store them in the freezer for a cool, nutritious snack. Enjoy these creamy treats straight out of the freezer whenever you're craving something refreshing!

                      Garnish (Optional):

                        - For an extra touch of flavor and crunch, consider drizzling the clusters with more honey or sprinkling additional chopped pecans before serving.

                          Prep Time: 15 minutes

                            Total Time: 3 hours freeze time

                              Servings: 4 (approximately 12 clusters)

                                Enjoy the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch with these delightful frozen treats!
