  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup plain yogurt (low-fat or Greek), ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon honey until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the yogurt mixture over the apple mixture and gently toss to combine.
  5. Pack into a lunchbox and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving (optional). Enjoy!
