To create the delicious apple filling for your Apple Pie Yogurt Parfaits, start by selecting the right apples. Choose a mix of tart and sweet varieties, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, to achieve a balanced flavor. Begin by washing your apples thoroughly, then peel them if you prefer a smoother texture. Next, core and dice the apples into small, uniform pieces—about half an inch in size. This size ensures that they cook evenly and mix well with the yogurt.

Ingredients
  

2 large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)

2 cups Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)

½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Whipped cream or whipped topping (optional, for serving)

Extra cinnamon for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix well to coat the apples evenly. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the apples to soften slightly.

    Layer the Yogurt: In serving glasses or parfait cups, start by adding a layer of Greek yogurt at the bottom. About 1/4 cup per glass should suffice.

      Add Granola: Sprinkle a generous layer of granola over the yogurt, approximately 2 tablespoons per glass.

        Incorporate Apples: Spoon a layer of the apple mixture over the granola, distributing them evenly among the servings.

          Repeat Layers: Continue layering with another 1/4 cup of yogurt, followed by more granola and apples. You can repeat this process until you reach the top of the glasses, finishing with a layer of yogurt.

            Final Touches: If using, sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the final layer of yogurt and add a dollop of whipped cream. For an extra touch, you can dust a little more cinnamon on top.

              Serve Immediately: Enjoy these parfaits right away or cover them and refrigerate for up to an hour before serving for a chilled treat.
