Ingredients
Fruit and Toppings
- Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) – 2 medium apples
- Fresh Berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries) – 1 cup
- Chopped Almonds (optional) – 2 tablespoons
- Chopped Walnuts (optional) – 2 tablespoons
- Chia Seeds (optional) – 1 tablespoon
Yogurt Mixture
- Plain Greek Yogurt – 2 cups
- Honey or Maple Syrup – 2-3 tablespoons, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry your apples thoroughly. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, removing the seeds from each slice. You should aim for about 8-10 slices per apple.
- Mix Yogurt and Sweetener: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt with 2 to 3 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Stir well until the mixture is creamy and evenly sweetened, adjusting the sweetness to suit your preference.
- Arrange Apple Slices: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the apple slices in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap to allow for even freezing and easy separation later.
- Top with Yogurt Mixture: Generously spoon the yogurt mixture over each apple slice, covering them completely with a creamy layer.
- Add Berries and Nuts: Sprinkle fresh berries over the yogurt-coated apple slices. Add chopped almonds, walnuts, and chia seeds if using, for added texture and nutrition.
- Freeze the Bark: Place the baking sheet carefully into the freezer. Allow the bark to freeze for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until it becomes solid.
- Serve or Store: Once frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Gently peel the apple-yogurt bark away from the parchment paper and break it into pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast to the sweetness of the yogurt and honey.
- Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup based on your preference for sweetness.
- Make sure the apple slices are thin and uniform to freeze evenly.
- Optional nuts and seeds add crunch and nutritional benefits but can be omitted for a nut-free version.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
