Ingredients
  

2 cups of plain Greek yogurt

1 large apple (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), finely diced

2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (adjust according to taste)

1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

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

A pinch of sea salt

Cooking spray or silicone molds (for easy removal)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Molds: If you're using silicone molds, there's no need for any preparation; they will allow for easy release. For metal muffin tins or more traditional ring molds, lightly coat the insides with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Create the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a whisk or a spoon to mix thoroughly until the ingredients blend smoothly, forming a creamy yogurt base.

      Incorporate Apples and Nuts: With a spatula, gently fold the finely diced apple into the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. If you choose to add some crunch, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans at this stage, distributing them throughout the mixture.

        Fill the Molds: Using a spoon, carefully fill the prepared molds with the yogurt-apple mixture, filling each one about three-quarters full. If needed, smooth the tops with the back of a spoon or a spatula to create an even surface.

          Freeze: Transfer the filled molds to the freezer. Let them freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid and have set.

            Release the Rings: To remove the yogurt rings from the molds, gently pull on the edges of the silicone or place the metal molds under warm water for a few seconds. If they are stubborn, allow them to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to loosen.

              Serve and Delight: Enjoy the Frozen Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Rings immediately for a refreshing treat, or store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for later enjoyment. They make for a delightful snack or a healthy dessert option!
