Honey Yogurt Parfait with Cranberry Apple Compote

This Honey Yogurt Parfait with Cranberry Apple Compote is simple, but delicious. It barely qualifies as a recipe, but sometimes those types of dishes can be the most fun to share. 

Cranberry Apple Compote

The compote is prepared on the stove and made from apples, fresh cranberries, maple syrup, a tiny bit of butter, ground cinnamon, and fresh orange zest.  It is layered together with granola and Greek yogurt, whipped and sweetened lightly with honey. 

It makes a wonderful, light, yet festive breakfast for the fall and winter seasons.

Honey yogurt parfait with cranberry apple compote. An elegant fall or winter breakfast prepared with Greek yogurt!

Ingredients

Cranberry Apple Compote:

  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
  • 4 large apples (Fuji or Pink Lady) cored and cut into ½-inch chunks
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch kosher salt

Honey Yogurt:

  • 3 cups (24 oz) whole fat Greek yogurt
  • 3-4 tablespoons honey to taste

Assembly:

  • 1¼ cups granola

Instructions 

  • Prepare Compote: In a large skillet, heat the butter until it is just beginning to bubble lightly. Add the chopped apples and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the maple syrup, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt to the pan, and continue to cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the apples begin to turn translucent.
  • Add the cranberries to the pan and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 4 to 5 minutes until they begin to burst.  If necessary, deglaze the pan with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely before assembling the parfaits.
  • Prepare Yogurt: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey and yogurt. Season to taste, adding additional honey if desired.
  • Assemble Parfaits: Using a pastry bag (fitted with a small round tip) or spoon, add a layer of yogurt to each glass or container of your choice. Top with a thin sprinkling of granola.  Add a thin layer of compote. Repeat. Finish each compote with a small dollop of honey yogurt and a sprinkle of granola. Serve.
