Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt (I use 2%)
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 medium crisp apple (I like honeycrisp, gala, or pink lady for these, cored and diced)
1/4 cup applesauce
Additional honey and cinnamon for topping (if desired)

Steps:

  • Have two sturdy glasses, mason jars, or mini trifle bowls ready.
  • To a medium bowl, add the yogurt, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
  • Grab 1/4 of the apples and sprinkle them at the bottom of the glasses. Add 1/3 of the yogurt, a few spoonfuls each. Depending on the size of your glass, you may need to spread the layers gently with the back of a spoon to distribute to the edge of the glass. Top with more apples (1/4), then more yogurt (1/3). Add all of the applesauce (2 tablespoons per glass), then more apples (1/4). Top with remaining yogurt and sprinkle with remaining apples. Drizzle with a little more honey and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Serve.
