Ingredients
  

For the Apple Layer:

2 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Yogurt Layer:

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon honey (optional for sweetness)

For the Granola Layer:

1 ½ cups homemade or store-bought granola

½ cup nuts (walnuts or pecans), roughly chopped (optional)

For Garnish:

A sprinkle of cinnamon

Apple slices and a drizzle of honey (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Layer:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are well coated. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to soften and absorb the flavors.

      Make the Yogurt Mixture:

        - In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the vanilla extract and honey (if using). Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.

          Layer the Parfaits:

            - Take your snack jars or glasses and start layering. Begin with a layer of the yogurt mixture (about ¼ cup).

              - Next, add a quarter of the apple mixture (about ¼ cup) on top of the yogurt.

                - Follow it with a layer of granola (about ¼ cup) and sprinkle some chopped nuts if desired.

                  - Repeat the layers until the jars are filled to the top, typically 2-3 layers depending on jar size.

                    Final Touches:

                      - Once everything is layered, finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. You can also add a couple of apple slices for garnish and a light drizzle of honey for added sweetness.

                        Chill and Serve:

                          - Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a snack or breakfast options.
