Ingredients
  

For the Yogurt Filling:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Apple Filling:

2 cups diced apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the tart flavor)

1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)

For the Cookie Sandwiches:

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond flour (or substitute with all-purpose flour)

1/4 cup coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional: 1/2 cup crushed walnuts or pecans (for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Filling:

    - In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch.

      - Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples become tender and the mixture thickens.

        - Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before using.

          Mix the Yogurt Filling:

            - In a mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.

              - Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.

                Make the Cookie Sandwiches:

                  - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

                    - In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), baking soda, and salt.

                      - Stir until a cohesive dough forms. If you’re using them, fold in the crushed walnuts or pecans for texture.

                        - Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, lightly flattening each one to form cookies.

                          - Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                            Assemble the Sandwiches:

                              - Once the cookies are completely cooled, take one cookie and spread a generous layer of the yogurt filling on the flat side.

                                - Spoon a portion of the apple filling over the yogurt layer.

                                  - Top with another cookie, flat side down, pressing gently to create a sandwich. Repeat the process with the remaining cookies and fillings until all are assembled.

                                    Freeze and Serve:

                                      - Arrange the assembled yogurt sandwiches in a single layer on a plate or in a container and place them in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

                                        - Serve straight from the freezer for a cool and delicious treat!
