Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Apples (medium, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1.5 cups Granola (or crushed graham crackers)
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 0.5 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced apples, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to the skillet and stir to coat the apples evenly.
Cook the apples for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the ground nutmeg until well combined.
To assemble the parfaits, take 4 small glasses or jars and begin layering. Start with a spoonful of granola at the bottom.
Add a layer of spiced yogurt, followed by a layer of caramelized apples. Drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce on top of the apples.
Repeat the layers (granola, yogurt, apples, caramel sauce) until the glasses are filled, ending with a final drizzle of caramel sauce on top.
Optional: Top each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
Serve the parfaits immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
