Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 large apple (preferably Fuji or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

¼ cup granola (your choice for texture)

2 tablespoons chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

A pinch of salt

Optional: A sprinkle of raisins or dried cranberries for added sweetness

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apple with 1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup), ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly to coat the apples evenly. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes; this will help the apples release their natural juices and absorb the delightful flavors.

    Make the Yogurt Base: In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the remaining tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and the other ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Use a whisk or a spoon to blend until the yogurt is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Assemble the Cups: Begin layering in your serving glasses or bowls. Start with a generous scoop of the yogurt mixture, creating the first base layer. Follow this with a layer of the spiced apple mixture, spreading it evenly across the yogurt.

        Add Crunchy Toppings: On top of the apple layer, generously sprinkle granola and chopped nuts, adding texture and nutrition. If desired, enhance the flavor with a scattering of raisins or dried cranberries for a touch of natural sweetness.

          Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process until your cups are filled to the brim; aim for at least two layers of each component. Finish off with a final layer of yogurt at the top, then add extra granola and chopped nuts as a beautiful garnish.

            Chill and Serve: For optimal flavor, refrigerate the assembled yogurt cups for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve these refreshing cups cold, offering them as a delightful snack or a nourishing breakfast option!
