Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup fresh cranberries, roughly chopped

1 medium apple, diced (recommended: Honeycrisp or Fuji for sweetness)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (or to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional for added crunch)

1/2 cup granola (for added texture and topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the roughly chopped fresh cranberries and diced apple. If you are incorporating nuts for extra crunch, add the chopped pecans or walnuts at this point.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the yogurt base and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.

      Combine: Gently fold the cranberry-apple mixture into the yogurt base, ensuring that all the pieces of fruit are well-coated with the yogurt blend.

        Scoop and Shape: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop rounded mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave space between each cluster for even freezing.

          Add Granola: Sprinkle a generous amount of granola on top of each yogurt cluster, pressing it down slightly to ensure it adheres well.

            Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Serve: Once frozen, gently remove the clusters from the baking sheet and transfer them to an airtight container for storage in the freezer. These bliss bites can be enjoyed directly from the freezer whenever you crave a refreshing snack.
