Ingredients
  

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

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla-flavored)

1 cup granola (your favorite blend)

¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples with cinnamon, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Allow them to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    Layer the Parfaits: In clear cups or mason jars, start by spooning a layer of the cinnamon apple mixture at the bottom.

      Add Yogurt: Next, add a layer of Greek yogurt over the apples, smoothing it out with a spoon.

        Sprinkle Granola: Top the yogurt with a generous layer of granola for added crunch. If using, sprinkle some chopped walnuts or pecans on top of the granola.

          Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process by adding more cinnamon apples, yogurt, and granola until the cups are filled, leaving some space at the top for a final sprinkle of granola and nuts.

            Garnish: Finish off the parfaits with a flourish of granola, a drizzle of honey (if desired), and a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color.

              Serve Immediately: These parfaits can be enjoyed right away or stored in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving. Enjoy your delightful snack!
