Note

To prevent apples from browning, toss them in a little lemon juice before mixing with other ingredients.

For a vegan version, ensure the yogurt container specifies plant-based or dairy-free ingredients.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The texture may soften slightly over time.

You can substitute grapes or dried cranberries for raisins if preferred.
