Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons maple syrup (plus extra for drizzling)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/4 cup granola (for topping)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent browning)

1 tablespoon water (for lemon juice mixture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples:

    - Begin by washing and drying the apples thoroughly. Slice each apple into 1/4-inch thick rings, removing the core from each slice with a small knife or an apple corer.

      Prevent Browning:

        - In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice with the tablespoon of water. Dip each apple slice into this mixture, ensuring they're fully coated, and lay them on a plate lined with parchment paper. This step is important to keep your apple slices looking fresh and appealing!

          Make the Yogurt Mixture:

            - In a medium mixing bowl, blend together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Stir the mixture well until it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.

              Coat the Apple Slices:

                - Take each apple slice and immerse it into the yogurt mixture, ensuring an even and generous coating. If needed, use a spatula or spoon to help spread the yogurt evenly over each slice.

                  Freeze:

                    - Arrange the yogurt-coated apple slices back onto the parchment-lined plate, making sure they do not overlap. Place the plate in the freezer and allow the slices to freeze for at least 2 hours or until the yogurt has become solid.

                      Serve:

                        - Once the apple slices are frozen, take them out of the freezer. Drizzle a little extra maple syrup over the top of each slice and sprinkle with granola for a delightful crunch. Serve immediately for a refreshing and wholesome treat!
