Ingredients
  

2 large apples (preferably Fuji or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

2 tablespoons honey (optional, adjust based on yogurt sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup granola (for topping)

Optional garnish: roasted nut pieces (almonds or walnuts)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the apples to soften slightly.

    Make the Yogurt Base: In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey (if using) and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.

      Layer the Cups: In individual cups or bowls, begin layering your ingredients. Start with a generous spoonful of the yogurt base. Next, add a layer of the cinnamon apple mixture, allowing some of the juices to swirl into the yogurt.

        Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process until the cups are filled to your desired height, finishing with a layer of the cinnamon apple mixture on top.

          Add Toppings: Sprinkle granola on top of each cup for crunch and add a few roasted nut pieces if desired.

            Chill and Serve: For best results, let the cups chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend beautifully.

              Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy as a delightful breakfast or snack!
