Ingredients

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla-flavored)

1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup finely chopped apples (Granny Smith or your choice)

1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/4 cup oats

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1 cup crushed graham crackers for coating

Cooking spray or coconut oil for greasing

Instructions

Prepare the Apple Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped apples with brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss the mixture well to coat the apples evenly and set aside for about 10-15 minutes to soften.

Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth and creamy. This will serve as the base for your donut coins.

Prepare the Donut Mold: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking is desired. However, if you prefer a no-bake method, skip this step. Grease your donut pan with cooking spray or coconut oil to prevent sticking.

Assemble the Donut Coins: To create your donut coins, fill each donut mold halfway with the yogurt mixture. Then, add a spoonful of the apple filling into the center of each mold, followed by an additional layer of the yogurt mixture on top. Use a toothpick to swirl the yogurt and apple filling lightly for a marbled effect.

Add Crunch (Optional): If you like a crunchy texture, sprinkle some oats and chopped walnuts on top before baking. Otherwise, you can leave them plain or add them post-freezing.

Bake or Freeze:

- For Baked Version: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden. Allow cooling before removing them from the mold.

- For Frozen Version: Place the filled molds directly into the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely frozen.

Coat the Donut Coins: Once the donut coins are baked and cooled or frozen, remove them from the molds. Roll each donut coin in crushed graham crackers to give them a delightful pie-like crust.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for a delightful treat or store them in an airtight container in the freezer. These Frozen Yogurt Apple Pie Donut Coins are perfect on their own or drizzled with extra honey or a cinnamon glaze!
