Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla based on your preference)

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp varieties are ideal)

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (for added crunch)

1/4 cup caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss the mixture gently to ensure all the apple pieces are fully coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 to 15 minutes so the apples can absorb the sweet and spicy flavors.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a separate mixing bowl, stir the Greek yogurt until it reaches a smooth consistency. If you prefer a sweeter taste, consider adding a small amount of sweetener at this stage, keeping in mind that the apples will contribute their natural sweetness.

      Combine the Mixtures: Carefully fold the spiced apple mixture into the yogurt base, ensuring that the apples are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.

        Layer the Mixture: Line a baking dish or shallow tray with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour half of the yogurt-apple mixture into the dish and spread it evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle half of the crushed graham crackers on top for a delightful crunch.

          Add More Layers: Pour the remaining yogurt-apple mixture over the first layer and smooth it out evenly. Finish with the rest of the crushed graham crackers on top for added texture.

            Freeze the Mixture: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent any ice crystals from forming. Place it in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is solid and firm to the touch.

              Cut into Chunks: After freezing, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier cutting. Use a sharp knife to slice the frozen yogurt into bite-sized chunks.

                Serve: If desired, drizzle the chunks with caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy these delightful Frozen Yogurt Apple Pie Chunks as a refreshing dessert that combines the flavors of a classic apple pie with a creamy yogurt twist!
