When preparing your Frozen Yogurt Apple Cinnamon Bars, one of the most critical steps is lining your pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap. This simple act may seem minor, but it plays a significant role in ensuring that your bars come out of the pan easily and without any mess. A properly lined pan prevents sticking, allowing you to lift the entire batch out in one clean piece. This not only enhances the presentation of your bars but also saves you the frustration of trying to scrape them out. When you’re ready to slice them, the lined surface ensures clean edges and perfect portions, making it easier to serve and enjoy every delightful bite.

Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and finely chopped

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/4 cup granola (for topping)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped apples with cinnamon and nutmeg (if using). Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

      Make the Yogurt Base:

        - In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

          Combine Ingredients:

            - Gently fold the cinnamon apple mixture into the yogurt mixture until evenly distributed.

              Line the Pan:

                - Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

                  Add the Mixture:

                    - Pour the apple-yogurt mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth out the top and ensure an even layer.

                      Add Toppings:

                        - Sprinkle granola and chopped nuts (if using) evenly over the top of the yogurt mixture for added texture and crunch.

                          Freeze:

                            - Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until set firm.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                - Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares or bars of your desired size. Serve immediately or store them back in the freezer in an airtight container.
