Ingredients
  

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1 cup pecans, chopped

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Start by peeling and coring the apples. Dice them into small bite-sized pieces. If you prefer your clusters with a little extra crunch, you can slightly modify the size of the apple pieces according to your preference.

    Mix the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth.

      Combine Apples and Pecans: In another bowl, mix the diced apples and chopped pecans. Ensure the pecans are well distributed among the apple pieces.

        Incorporate into Yogurt: Fold the apple and pecan mixture into the yogurt mix gently. Make sure the apples and pecans are well coated with the yogurt.

          Form Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the apple-pecan-yogurt mix onto the parchment paper, forming disc-like clusters.

            Freeze the Clusters: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze for at least 3 hours or until they are completely solid.

              Store and Serve: Once frozen, carefully lift the clusters off the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Serve directly from the freezer, enjoying these delightful treats as a healthy snack!
