    This Yogurt Apple Dip is a quick and easy snack recipe to eat between meals. Eating Greek yogurt can be a healthy way to get some extra protein in your diet.

    This recipe will take tangy, bland Greek yogurt from disappointing into a delicious snack idea. With just yogurt, cinnamon and vanilla, you’ll be dipping your apple slices in no time!

    You’re going to love the flavor of this yummy apple dip made from Greek Yogurt.

    This post was originally published on June 20, 2017 and has now been updated with more tips and tricks to make this yummy snack perfectly every time.

    Why This Recipe Works

    I don’t like Greek yogurt. I’m not a fan of the tang. But it’s a great source of protein and makes a great snack idea for busy moms.

    In an effort to not grow out of all of my clothes, I am really trying to make better food choices. Which means cleaning up my snacks as well as my meals. Which is a bummer because I really love these Truffle and Parmesan Fried Cheerios.

    By buying plain yogurt, you can jazz it back up with flavor without adding tons of calories and it has way less sugar than pre-flavored varieties.

    This easy Greek Yogurt Dip for apple slices is one of my go-to snacks. And while it doesn’t taste as good as a piece of cake, it’s not half bad.

    It’s super quick to make and also helps to curb my sugar cravings thanks to the natural sweetness of the apples and the way the vanilla and cinnamon flavor the yogurt.

    My kids prefer this Chocolate and Yogurt Dip for fruit and this Apple Honey Dip over this Yogurt Apple Dip. But they’re just kids…

    Ingredient Notes

    Container of yogurt, bottle of vanilla and jar of cinnamon on a table to make a Greek Yogurt Apple Dip.

    I like to buy the fat-free, plain Greek Yogurt in individual-sized containers. It does cost a little bit more, buying them this way instead of buying a larger container. A 5.3 ounce container has 80 calories and 4 grams of sugar but 18 grams of protein.

    I am terrible at portions, so using these little cups is an easy way to keep that in check. But you can always spoon out a portion into a bowl if you prefer.

    A tsp of vanilla adds 12 calories to the yogurt. And a tsp of cinnamon has 6 calories. That’s not bad. Even with the addition of the flavorings, it’s still a great healthy snack choice.

    Cinnamon also has anti-inflammatory properties and is full of antioxidants also from what I hear. I’m not a doctor or nutritionist. But I read things.

    You can add or take away any spices that you want. Cardamom, cloves and ginger would also be delicious in this yogurt dip.

    I am obsessed with Honeycrisp apples (80 calories for a medium-sized apple) but you can use any kind of apples with this yogurt apple dip.

    How to Make Greek Yogurt Apple Dip

    Adding cinnamon to a container of Greek Yogurt on a counter.

    To keep this snack super easy, I just add the vanilla and cinnamon right into the yogurt container and stir it up. It keeps me from dirtying another dish and makes this recipe super fast.

    When the Yogurt Apple Dip is done, I just cut up an apple and it’s ready to go. It’s SO good!

    If you are serving this recipe to a guest or at a playdate, I will usually put it into a nice-looking bowl. But if I’m just eating it at home, I’ll leave it in the plastic container.

    Greek Yogurt Apple Dip is one of my favorite, easy snack ideas that I don’t feel guilty about eating. It’s pretty easy to keep these items on hand so there’s not really an excuse for not choosing a healthy snack…(but I will still eat Doritos, from time to time, because the heart wants what it wants…).

    Tips and Tricks

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is Greek yogurt better than regular yogurt?

    Plain Greek Yogurt has far less sugar than regular yogurt. It often costs a little bit more than the regular. Regular yogurt, though, as more calcium.

    Why is Greek yogurt so tangy?

    The fermentation process gives it a stronger flavor than regular yogurt. It is strained more times and gives it not only the thickness but also allows for the bacterias to give it a more tangy flavor during the process.


    Are Greek yogurt and Greek-style yogurt the same?

    NO. Greek yogurt goes through a specific process for fermentation. Greek-style yogurt often has lots of additives to give it a longer shelf-life and that thicker texture. But it isn’t strained at all. It is also lacking some of the good bacteria of authentic Greek yogurt.

    Can you make a larger batch of this dip?

    Yes. You can make a larger batch by buying a 32 ounce container of yogurt. You will just add cinnamon and vanilla to the yogurt in a bowl and mix. Start with a TBSP of vanilla and 2 tsp of cinnamon and taste and adjust.
