Ingredients

• 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
• 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or honey
• 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free granola
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

1. Heat the butter or coconut oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the diced apple and cinnamon and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apple begins to soften.
3. Stir in the maple syrup or honey and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the apples are tender and lightly caramelized.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the apple mixture to cool for several minutes.
5. In a small bowl, stir the vanilla extract into the Greek yogurt.
6. Divide half of the yogurt between two glasses or bowls.
7. Top each with a layer of the cinnamon apples, then add the remaining yogurt.
8. Finish with the remaining apples, gluten-free granola, and chopped nuts.
9. Serve immediately, or chill briefly before serving.

Notes & Tips

• Allow the cooked apples to cool slightly before layering so they do not make the yogurt watery.
• For a lighter version, omit the granola or reduce the sweetener.
• Pears can be substituted for the apples.
• Verify that the granola is certified gluten-free if needed.
