Not only do they provide natural sweetness, but their unique flavors also enhance the overall taste of the yogurt base.

Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the apple filling:

3 cups apples, peeled and sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)

¼ cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the yogurt layer:

4 cups vanilla Greek yogurt

½ cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the crunch topping:

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

⅓ cup honey

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch rectangular baking dish to create an even layer. Set aside to firm up.

    Make the apple filling: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced apples. Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch over the apples. Toss gently until the apples are well coated with the mixture. Evenly spread the apple mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust.

      Create the yogurt layer: In another bowl, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Carefully pour the yogurt mixture over the apple filling, using a spatula to ensure an even distribution across the layer.

        Prepare the crunch topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chopped pecans or walnuts, honey, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated and combined. Sprinkle the crunch topping generously over the yogurt layer, ensuring an even coverage.

          Freeze the slices: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Place the dish in the freezer and allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until completely solid.

            Slice and serve: Once the dessert is fully frozen, remove it from the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for about 2-3 minutes for easier slicing. Using a sharp knife, cut the dessert into squares or rectangles. Serve immediately and indulge in your delightful Frozen Yogurt Apple Pie Crunch Slices!
