Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Filling:

2 cups vanilla yogurt (Greek style recommended for creaminess)

1 cup caramel sauce (can be store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup finely diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are excellent choices)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent browning of apples)

For the Topping:

¼ cup chopped pecans (optional for added crunch)

¼ cup additional caramel sauce for drizzling

Whipped cream for serving (optional for a creamy finish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easier removal later.

      - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is well blended and resembles wet sand.

        - Evenly press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring it's tightly packed to form a stable crust.

          - Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until it turns lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.

            Prepare the Apple Mixture:

              - In a separate bowl, add the diced apples and sprinkle with lemon juice. Toss them gently to coat; this will help prevent the apples from browning while you prepare the filling.

                Make the Filling:

                  - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt, caramel sauce, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

                    Combine Ingredients:

                      - Carefully fold the diced apples into the yogurt-caramel mixture. Stir gently until the apples are thoroughly incorporated and evenly distributed throughout the filling.

                        Assemble the Squares:

                          - Pour the apple-yogurt filling over the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Make sure to reach the corners for uniformity.

                            - If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top, adding a delightful crunch to each bite.

                              Freeze:

                                - Cover the baking dish firmly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is completely firm.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Once fully frozen, remove the dish from the freezer. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, which will make cutting easier.

                                      - Cut into squares and drizzle with additional caramel sauce for extra indulgence.

                                        - For an added touch, serve each square with a dollop of whipped cream on top if desired!

                                            - Presentation Tips: Arrange the squares on a bright plate with a couple of apple slices for decoration and drizzle some caramel sauce artistically around the plate for an appealing presentation. Enjoy!
