- 2 containers each- 5.3 oz Greek yogurt, I used Apple Pie
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup Quaker Life Cereal, Maple and Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped optional
Instructions
- Homemade Apple Pie Spice
- Stir all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside
- Sauteed Apples
- Combine apples, apple pie spice and brown sugar in a bowl and mix to combine.
- Preheat pan to medium heat and add your butter.
- When the butter has melted, add in your apple juice and spiced apples.
- Saute over medium heat for 2-3 minutes and then turn down heat to medium low.
- Continue to cook until apples are fork tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let apples cool slightly.
- To assemble parfaits
- Stir 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds into each container of yogurt and place 1/4 cup yogurt in the bottom of your parfait glass.
- Top with 3 tablespoons of sauteed apples
- Top the apple layer with cereal.
- repeat layers; yogurt, apples, cereal.
- Garnish the top with any remaining sauteed apples and walnuts, optional
Notes
I recommend you assemble the parfaits just before serving. The reason being, if you pre-make the parfaits the night before, the cereal in the center will become soggy.You can make the apples ahead of time and store in refrigerator until ready to use.
