Apple and cinnamon yogurt snack FAQ:
Any crisp and sweet variety of apple, such as Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala, works well. They add natural sweetness and a satisfying crunch to the snack.
To store leftovers, keep the sliced apple and yogurt mixture separate in airtight containers. The apple should ideally be consumed within a few hours to prevent browning, while the yogurt can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Yes, you can substitute low-fat Greek yogurt with regular yogurt, non-dairy yogurt, or full-fat yogurt. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor may vary slightly.
You can increase the cinnamon to 1.5 teaspoons or even 2 teaspoons if you prefer a more pronounced cinnamon flavor. However, be mindful as too much can overpower the other ingredients.
For added texture and nutrition, consider adding a sprinkle of nuts, a handful of granola, or a drizzle of honey on top before serving. These additions will enhance both the flavor and health benefits.
Tips:
- Choose a sweet and crisp apple variety such as Honeycrisp or Gala to complement the yogurt.

- Toast some nuts or add granola for extra texture and protein.
