Continue to whip until cream is at stiff peaks.
Gently fold Greek yogurt mixture into whipped cream.
To assemble, place about 2 tablespoons cream mixture in bottom of dish or glass.
Top with crumbled cookie, 2 more tablespoons of cream, and then chopped apple mixture.

Repeat layers.
On the final layer, layer crumbled cookie, apple mixture, and end with cream mixture.
Sprinkle with additional cookie crumbs.
Serve immediately if you want crispier cookie, or loosely cover and chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Apples: I like to use Granny Smith apples because they’re crisp and tart. If you’d like to use sweeter apples, Pink Lady apples or Honeycrisp apples work wel
Greek yogurt: Feel free to substitute sour cream, plain 2%, or plain whole milk Greek yogurt.
Whipping cream: Be sure that the whipping cream (or heavy cream, or heavy whipping cream) is cold. It will whip up better straight from the fridge.
Shortbread cookies: I use the Lorna Doone shortbread cookies, but any type of shortbread cookie should work.
