Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh apples (your choice, sweet varieties recommended) Fuji or Honeycrisp work best
- 2 cups red or green grapes
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup optional, based on your sweetness preference
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) optional, for added crunch

Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and ensure they are fresh.
- Rinse the apples under cool water, then core and chop them into bite-sized pieces.

Mixing
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples and grapes, ensuring they are well mixed.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the fruit mixture, and drizzle honey or maple syrup if desired. Add the chopped nuts at this stage if using.

Notes
For the best textural contrast, use fresh, crisp apples. Keep the yogurt separate if making ahead of time. Consider adding lemon juice to prevent browning.
