Ingredients
  

2 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt

2 medium apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled and diced

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

A pinch of salt

Optional: Chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the apples are well-coated. Let this mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the apples to soften slightly.

    Make the Yogurt Base: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth. If you prefer a sweeter yogurt, add more honey or maple syrup to taste.

      Combine: Fold the cinnamon apple mixture into the yogurt, ensuring an even distribution. Be gentle to maintain some chunks of apple for texture.

        Swirl it Up: Using a spatula, gently swirl the apple-yogurt mixture together to achieve a marbled effect rather than fully blending it in. You want visible swirls of cinnamon apple throughout.

          Freeze: Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Use a spatula to smooth the top. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap, then freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

            Serve: When ready to enjoy, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Serve in bowls and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.

              Enjoy: Savor the delightful combination of cinnamon, apple, and creamy yogurt in each swirl!
