Ingredients
For the Apple Pie Layer:
- 2 small-medium apples, diced
- 1 tbsp butter (or coconut oil for a lighter option)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 tbsp water
For the Yogurt Layer:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt sweetened with honey)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Crumble Layer:
- 1/4 cup granola or crushed graham crackers
- Optional: 1 tbsp chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
1. Make the apple pie layer:
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until the apples soften.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 more minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Prepare the yogurt layer:
- In a bowl, mix the yogurt with vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble the parfait:
- In a glass or jar, layer half the yogurt, a spoonful of the apple pie filling, and granola (or crushed graham crackers). Repeat the layers until the glass is full, ending with a sprinkle of granola on top.
- Repeat the process for the second glass.
4. Serve:
- Garnish with a drizzle of caramel sauce, a dash of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra flair.
