Ingredients
  

3 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

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 lemon juice

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine diced apples with lemon juice, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Toss well to coat and set aside.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and honey until smooth and combined. You can adjust the sweetness level by adding more honey or maple syrup to taste.

      Incorporate Applesauce: Stir in the applesauce into the yogurt mixture until fully combined. This will create a creamy apple-flavored base for your bars.

        Add Oats and Nuts: Gently fold in the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and raisins (if using) into the yogurt mixture. Make sure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

          Combine the Mixtures: Carefully fold in the prepared apple mixture into the yogurt base, ensuring that the apples are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

            Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the edges for easy removal later.

              Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the yogurt and apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Press down gently to compact the mixture.

                Freeze the Bars: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until completely frozen.

                  Slice and Serve: Once frozen, use the parchment overhang to lift the mixture out of the dish. Cut into bars or squares of your desired size.

                    Enjoy! Serve immediately, or store the sliced bars in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy these delightful, healthy treats on a hot day or as an afternoon snack!
