Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup granola (optional, for topping)

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for topping)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the diced apples, honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and have released some juices. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

      Layer the Cups: In serving cups or bowls, begin layering the yogurt and the warm apple mixture. Start with a spoonful of yogurt at the bottom, followed by a layer of the cinnamon apple mixture. Repeat this process until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of apples on top.

        Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle granola and chopped walnuts or pecans over the top of each cup for added crunch.

          Chill & Serve: For a refreshing treat, chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Alternatively, enjoy immediately while the apples are still warm.
