Ingredients

  • Granola -
  • Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats - 3 cups
  • Chopped Nuts (I used a combination of sliced almonds, chopped walnuts and chopped pecans but use your favorite nuts) - 2 cups
  • Melted Coconut Oil - 1/3 cup
  • Pure Maple Syrup - 1/2 cup
  • Ground Cinnamon - 2 tsp.
  • Kosher Salt - 1 tsp.
  • Pure Vanilla Extract - 1 1/2 tsp.
  • Parfaits -
  • Vanilla Greek Yogurt - 1 1/3 cups
  • Chopped SnapDragon Apples - 1 cup + 8 Thin Slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt and vanilla extract. Toss until everything is well combined and spread in a single layer on the prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes, flip the granola. Bake for 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely, at least 1 hour.
  4. When you’re ready to assemble the parfaits, take four 8-ounce clear glasses. Place 2 Tablespoons of granola into an even layer at the bottom of the glass.
  5. Next, place 2 Tablespoons chopped SnapDragon apples into the cup in an even layer on top of the granola, turning the apple skin sides toward the sides of the glass to expose the red color.
  6. Now add 3 Tablespoons yogurt to the middle of the cup and use a small spatula to gently spread the yogurt into a single layer on top of the apples.
  7. Repeat the steps by adding another layer of 2 Tablespoons granola, then 2 Tablespoons SnapDragon apples and a top layer of 3 Tablespoons yogurt.
  8. Smooth and swirl the yogurt on the top. Sprinkle with a large pinch of granola and garnish with 2 thinly sliced SnapDragon apples. Serve immediately.
