Ingredients
Apple Compote
- 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, for topping)
Instructions
- Cook the Apples: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the peeled, diced apples along with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Parfaits: In serving glasses or bowls, layer a spoonful of vanilla Greek yogurt, followed by a layer of the cooked apples, then a drizzle of caramel sauce. Repeat these layers until the glasses are filled to your liking.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top each parfait with granola or chopped nuts if desired to add a crunchy texture. Serve immediately or refrigerate to serve chilled later.
Notes
- You can substitute the caramel sauce with homemade caramel or a healthier syrup if preferred.
- For a vegan version, replace the Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use a dairy-free caramel sauce.
- If you like your apples softer, cook them a few minutes longer.
- Granola adds texture, but nuts provide a richer crunch and extra protein.
- Chilling the parfaits for an hour before serving enhances the flavors.
