Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized apples, cored and sliced into 1-inch rings

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup fresh cranberries (or frozen, thawed)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup granola (optional, for topping)

Popsicle sticks

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Core and slice the apples into 1-inch thick rings. Make sure the slices are even to ensure uniform freezing.

    Create the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.

      Add Cranberries: Fold in the fresh cranberries gently into the yogurt mixture. You can lightly mash them if you prefer smaller pieces in your pops.

        Coat Apple Slices: Dip each apple ring into the yogurt mixture, fully coating both sides. Allow any excess yogurt to drip off before placing them on a lined baking sheet.

          Add Granola (Optional): If desired, sprinkle a layer of granola on one side of the coated apple rings for an extra crunch.

            Insert Sticks: Take a popsicle stick and gently insert it into the bottom of each apple ring. If the yogurt seems too slippery, you can freeze them for about 10-15 minutes first to help stabilize the sticks.

              Freeze: Place the coated apple rings with popsicle sticks into the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully frozen.

                Serve: Once frozen, remove the pops from the freezer and allow them to sit at room temperature for a minute for easier removal. Enjoy your refreshing Cranberry Bliss Apple Pops on a warm day!
