Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium apples, chopped (Honeycrisp, Gala, or your favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dairy-free yogurt (coconut, almond, or soy)
  • 1 cup vegan granola (look for certified vegan and low added sugar if preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional, for extra fiber)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Method
 

  1. Prep the apples: Toss the chopped apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt. Add maple syrup to taste. You can use them fresh, or warm them in a small skillet for 3–4 minutes to soften slightly.
  2. Stir the yogurt: Give your dairy-free yogurt a quick stir for a smooth texture. If you like it sweeter, add a drizzle of maple syrup.
  3. Mix your crunch: Combine the granola with nuts or seeds. Stir in chia or ground flax if using.
  4. Layer the parfaits: In two glasses or jars, add a spoonful of yogurt, then a layer of apples, then granola. Repeat the layers until you reach the top.
  5. Finish and serve: Top with a final sprinkle of granola and an extra dash of cinnamon. Enjoy right away for max crunch.
