Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 large apple (any variety, diced)

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ cup granola (nut and seed blend recommended)

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional, for an extra crunch)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and ground cinnamon. Use a whisk or spoon to stir the mixture thoroughly until smooth and the sweetener is evenly incorporated.

    Dice the Apple: Rinse the apple under running water. Cut it into small cubes, keeping the skin on to enhance the texture and nutritional value.

      Layer the Cups: Choose small cups or bowls suitable for serving. Begin by spooning a generous amount of the yogurt mixture into each cup, creating the first layer at the bottom.

        Add Apples and Crunch: Next, add a layer of the diced apples over the yogurt. Sprinkle a layer of granola on top followed by chia seeds if you decided to include them for added health benefits.

          Repeat the Layers: Continue the layering process by adding another layer of the yogurt mixture, followed by more diced apples and another sprinkle of granola. Repeat until the cups are filled to your liking, ensuring to finish with a generous layer of granola and, if using, the chopped walnuts on top.

            Garnish: Top each snack cup with a fresh mint leaf, adding not only a pop of color but also a refreshing aroma to enhance the overall experience.

              Serve Immediately or Chill: Enjoy these delightful snack cups right away for a creamy, crunchy treat. Alternatively, you can chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a cooler and more refreshing snack option.
