Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond flour

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

For the Frozen Yogurt Filling:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt of choice)

1/2 cup honey or agave syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup peeled and finely diced apples

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Topping:

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup granola (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a crumbly dough that holds together.

        - Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring that the paper hangs over the edges for easy removal. Press the crust mixture evenly and firmly into the bottom of the dish.

          - Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely in the dish.

            Make the Frozen Yogurt Filling:

              - In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or agave syrup), vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

                - Gently fold in the diced apples and ground cinnamon, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.

                  Assemble the Squares:

                    - Once the crust has cooled down, pour the yogurt filling over it, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.

                      - If you like, sprinkle the chopped walnuts and granola on top for an added crunch and texture.

                        - Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is completely solid.

                          Serve the Squares:

                            - Once the squares are frozen, carefully lift them out of the dish using the overhanging parchment paper. Place them on a cutting board and slice into squares.

                              - For the best texture, let the squares sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before serving.

                                Enjoy:

                                  - Delight in these refreshing Apple Cinnamon Dream Squares as a perfect dessert or snack for any occasion. They are sure to impress friends and family alike!
