# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but feels like breakfast, so you can eat it guilt-free any time of day.
  • Three hours of freezing means you can forget about it and come back to something that feels like a treat you didn't have to fuss over.
  • The cold creamy yogurt against the crispy apple and crunchy nuts is one of those texture combinations that just works.
02 -
  • Don't dice your apples too far in advance or they'll start to brown and lose their crispness—do it right before you spread the yogurt base.
  • If your bark comes out too soft even after three hours, your freezer might be running a bit warm, or the yogurt might have had too much moisture; a slightly thicker spread helps it set faster and firmer.
03 -
  • Toast your nuts for 5 minutes in a dry pan before chopping—it deepens their flavor and makes the whole bark taste more intentional and complex.
  • If your apple pieces are sitting in yogurt for more than a few minutes before it goes in the freezer, toss them lightly in a drop of lemon juice to prevent browning and add a subtle brightness that rounds out the cinnamon.
