Greek Yogurt Apple Dip Ingredients
1. Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is a protein-rich dairy product with a creamy, thick, and dense consistency. Greek yogurt is an excellent source of nutrients like calcium, probiotics, and vitamin B12 and a great base for creamy dips like this one.
2. Peanut Butter
Peanut butter, another protein-rich ingredient, is a good source of healthy fats, vitamin B6, vitamin B3, vitamin E, and antioxidants that can aid in weight and blood sugar regulation when consumed in moderation.
3. Honey
Honey lends natural sweetness to this peanut butter yogurt apple dip. With prebiotic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, raw honey is one of the healthiest ways to satisfy a sweet tooth.
Author’s Note: Did you know peanut butter and honey have nearly indefinite shelf lives? In fact, the shelf life of peanut butter and honey is so long that you can stock up on both and use them for years!
4. Cinnamon
Flavorful and aromatic cinnamon has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s also a source of iron, calcium, and minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. The warm, comforting flavor of cinnamon pairs perfectly with apples, so adding it to an apple dip is a no-brainer!

Greek yogurt apple dip should last 3-5 days in the fridge if properly stored. Check the dip for signs of spoilage, such as an unpleasant smell or signs of mold growth, before consuming.
Ingredient Substitutions
Greek Yogurt Substitutes
Plain Greek yogurt works well as the foundation of this dip and doesn’t add a lot of extra sugar. But if you’d prefer to use something less tangy, you could swap the Greek yogurt for homemade yogurt or a traditional flavored yogurt. (Vanilla, honey, or maple would be delicious!)
For a non-dairy alternative, use a vegan or nut milk yogurt.
Peanut Butter Substitutes
Have a peanut allergy or don’t like peanut butter? Swap it out for almond or sunflower butter.
Honey Substitutes
To make this apple dip vegan-friendly, leave out the honey and add a small amount of maple syrup.
