Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla based on preference)

2 large apples (honeycrisp or Fuji work best), cored and diced

1 cup granola (your choice of store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for drizzling)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans), roughly chopped

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional, for sweetness and color)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Begin by rinsing the apples under cool water to remove any dirt. Using a sharp knife, core and dice the apples into small, bite-sized pieces, aiming for uniformity. Place the diced apples in a mixing bowl and sprinkle the ground cinnamon over them. Toss gently to ensure that the cinnamon coats the apples evenly. Set aside while you prepare the other layers.

    Layer the Ingredients: Select a jar or small glass for your snack assembly. Start by taking a generous scoop of Greek yogurt and spooning it into the bottom of the jar, creating a solid base.

      Add the Apples: Take the cinnamon-coated apple mixture and spoon a layer over the yogurt, ensuring even distribution for a delightful burst of flavor in every bite.

        Granola Time: Follow with a layer of granola atop the apples. This will introduce a satisfying crunch and textural contrast to the creamy yogurt and tender apples.

          Repeat the Layers: Continue the layering process, alternating between yogurt, the cinnamon-apple mixture, and granola until you reach the top of the jar. Finish with a final layer of yogurt, topped with apples, and a crowning layer of granola for a beautiful presentation.

            Top It Off: Drizzle honey or maple syrup generously over the top layer of granola for an added touch of sweetness. If desired, sprinkle the chopped mixed nuts and optional dried cranberries or raisins for extra flavor and crunch.

              Garnish: For a pop of color and freshness, add a few fresh mint leaves atop the granola. This will not only enhance the visual appeal but also lend a refreshing aroma.

                Serve: If you're preparing the jars in advance, seal them with a lid or cover with plastic wrap. These delicious snack jars can be enjoyed right away or stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. For the best experience, give the jars a gentle stir before serving to mix the layers slightly.
