Ingredients
  

2 cups unsweetened Greek yogurt

1 medium apple, finely chopped (choose your favorite variety)

1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Optional: additional toppings such as mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or dried fruit

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple: Start by coring the apple and chopping it into small, bite-sized pieces. If you prefer a smoother texture, feel free to peel the apple before chopping.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the unsweetened Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture has a creamy consistency.

      Incorporate Add-Ins: Carefully fold in the finely chopped apple and coarsely chopped walnuts into the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed. If using optional toppings like mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or dried fruit, you can incorporate them at this stage for added texture and flavor.

        Scoop and Shape: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop generous dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each dollop about 2 inches apart to allow for minimal spreading as they freeze.

          Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the yogurt discs to freeze undisturbed for approximately 3 to 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Store or Serve: Once the discs are frozen, gently remove them from the baking sheet. You can serve them immediately as a refreshing treat or store them in a freezer-safe container. If storing, be sure to layer the discs with parchment paper in between to prevent them from sticking together.
