Ingredients

2 large apples Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala, peeled and chopped
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups Greek yogurt or your preferred yogurt
1 ½ cups granola
Optional: extra honey or maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and chop the apples into small, bite-sized pieces.
Make the Apple Compote: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped apples, cinnamon, honey or maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir occasionally and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly.
Prepare the Yogurt: In a small bowl, stir the vanilla extract into the yogurt. If desired, add a little extra honey or maple syrup to sweeten the yogurt.
Layer the Parfaits: In individual glasses or jars, layer the yogurt, apple compote, and granola. Start with a layer of yogurt, followed by apples, and then granola. Repeat until you’ve filled the containers, ending with a sprinkle of granola on top.
Serve or Store: Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy.

Notes

You can customize these parfaits with different fruits, flavored yogurts, or add-ins like nuts or seeds for extra texture and flavor.
