Ingredients
  

3 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

2 cups unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

1/4 cup raisins (optional)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Toss the mixture gently until the apples are well coated with the spices. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and honey until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.

      Incorporate Applesauce: Gradually stir the unsweetened applesauce into the yogurt mixture until fully combined, creating a luscious, apple-flavored base for your bars.

        Add Oats and Nuts: Carefully fold in the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and raisins (if using) to the yogurt mixture. Ensure that all ingredients are evenly incorporated, giving your bars added texture and flavor.

          Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the prepared apple mixture into the yogurt base, taking care to distribute the apples evenly throughout for a deliciously fruity bite in every bar.

            Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on all sides. This will make it easier to lift the bars out once they're frozen.

              Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the apple-yogurt mixture into the lined baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, pressing down gently to compact the mixture.

                Freeze the Bars: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and transfer it to the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it is completely solid.

                  Slice and Serve: Once fully frozen, use the parchment overhang to lift the mixture out of the baking dish. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into bars or squares of your desired size.

                    Enjoy!: Serve the bars immediately for a refreshing treat, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. These healthy frozen snacks are perfect for hot days or as a nutritious afternoon pick-me-up!
