Ingredients
  

2 large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon maple syrup (more to taste)

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

1/4 cup granola (for topping)

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Core and dice the apples into small cubes. If you prefer, you can peel them for a smoother texture, but keeping the skin adds extra nutrients.

    Cook the Apples: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the diced apples, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Stir gently and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the apples become slightly soft and fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool.

      Mix the Yogurt: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey (if using). Stir until well combined and smooth.

        Assemble the Cups: In serving cups or bowls, layer the yogurt mixture and the cinnamon apple mixture alternately. Start with a layer of yogurt, followed by a layer of cinnamon apples, and continue the process until the cups are filled.

          Top It Off: Sprinkle granola and chopped nuts (if using) on top of each cup for added crunch.

            Garnish: Optionally, decorate with fresh mint leaves to enhance the presentation and add a hint of freshness.

              Chill and Serve: Let the cups sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes if you prefer them cold, or serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Cinnamon Apple Yogurt Swirl Cups!
