SweeTango Apple Pie Parfaits

By Janice Lawandi at Kitchen Heals Soul

Yogurt parfaits are an easy, healthy breakfast that you can even prepare the night before (or on the weekend when you do your meal-prep for the week). Combining crisp SweeTango apples with typical apple pie spices and a touch of brown sugar yields an apple filling that tastes a lot like apple pie. You will happily roll out of bed for this SweeTango apple pie parfait.

Ingredients

  • 3 SweeTango apples, cored and chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch of cloves
  • Freshly grated nutmeg
  • 2 1/2 cups (625 grams) fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup granola (homemade or store bought)

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped SweeTango apples with the lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, a pinch of cloves, and a sprinkling of freshly grated nutmeg. Stir well and set aside for 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the Greek yogurt with the maple syrup in a separate bowl.
  3. Line up 5 mason jars (minimum 1 cup volume each).
  4. In the bottom of each mason jar, place 2 tablespoons of granola. Layer 1/3 cup of the apple mixture, then 1/2 cup of the sweetened yogurt over top. Top each jar with another 1/3 cup of the apple mixture. If making ahead, close the jars and store the parfaits in the fridge until ready to serve. Sprinkle with a little extra granola just before serving.
  5. Please note that you may have a little extra apple pie filling leftover, depending on the size of your apples. You can add a little extra to the parfaits, if you have room, or freeze it to add to your next smoothie.
