Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh apples and cinnamon bring the best flavor to this parfait. If you don't have fresh apples, you can use unsweetened applesauce, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Choose the right yogurt: Use plain Greek yogurt for the best texture and flavor. Avoid flavored yogurts, as they can be too sweet and overpowering.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of honey or maple syrup you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Make it ahead of time: This parfait is a great make-ahead breakfast or snack. Simply layer the ingredients in individual jars or containers and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, they'll be ready to eat!
  • Get creative with toppings: In addition to the suggested toppings, you can also add granola, nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit to your parfait.
