Ingredients
Cooked Apples
- 3 cups peeled, diced apples
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Parfait Layers
- 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- Granola or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the peeled, diced apples along with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook the mixture for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Assemble Parfaits: In serving glasses, start by layering a portion of vanilla Greek yogurt. Add a layer of the cooked apple mixture, followed by a drizzle of caramel sauce. Repeat these layers to fill the glass.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Finish the parfaits by sprinkling granola or chopped nuts on top for added crunch, if desired. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator before serving for a cold treat.
Notes
- You can substitute caramel sauce with homemade caramel or dulce de leche for a richer flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut or almond yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- Adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the apples while cooking can enhance the warm spices.
- Perfect for make-ahead breakfasts; assemble and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- To reduce sugar content, opt for unsweetened yogurt and use less brown sugar or caramel sauce.
