Ingredients
  

3 large apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji work wonderfully)

1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup, to taste

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup crushed nuts (walnuts or pecans) for topping (optional)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples:

    - Begin by thoroughly washing the apples under cool running water to remove any residues. Using a corer or a sharp knife, carefully remove the core from each apple. Once cored, slice each apple into rings that are approximately 1/4-inch thick. Set the slices aside on a plate.

      Create the Yogurt Mixture:

        - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt. Pour in the honey (or maple syrup), along with the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract. Mix everything together using a spoon or whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

          Coat the Apple Rings:

            - Take each apple ring and dip it into the yogurt mixture. Ensure that each ring is fully coated, using a fork or your fingers for better coverage. Allow any excess yogurt to drip off before proceeding to the next step.

              Arrange on a Baking Sheet:

                - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Carefully arrange the yogurt-coated apple rings on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are spaced out to avoid sticking together during freezing.

                  Add Optional Toppings:

                    - If you're feeling adventurous, sprinkle crushed nuts and mini chocolate chips over the coated apple rings. This additional texture will elevate the flavor and make the treat even more delightful.

                      Freeze:

                        - Place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the apple rings to freeze for about 2 to 4 hours, or until the yogurt coating is completely firm and the apple rings are frozen solid.

                          Serve:

                            - Once the apple rings are frozen, carefully remove them from the baking sheet. Serve them immediately for a refreshing dessert or transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the freezer for up to one week. Enjoy these delightful frozen treats!
