Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla for sweetness)

1 large apple, diced (choose a sweet variety such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)

1 large pear, diced

1 cup pomegranate seeds (fresh for a burst of flavor)

1 cup granola (select your favorite type for texture)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for additional sweetness)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for crunch)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional, for color and aroma)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruit: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apple and diced pear. To enhance the autumn flavor, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and gently stir until the fruit is evenly coated.

    Layer the Parfait: Take clear glasses or small bowls and begin assembling your parfait. Start with a generous spoonful of Greek yogurt at the bottom of each container.

      Add the Fruit: On top of the yogurt, layer in the cinnamon-coated apple and pear mixture. Follow this with a vibrant sprinkle of fresh pomegranate seeds, which will add both color and a sweet-tart flavor.

        Granola Layer: Next, add a layer of granola on top of the fruit mixture to introduce a delightful crunch to your parfait.

          Repeat Layering: Continue the layering process until the glasses or bowls are filled to your desired height, generally creating two to three layers depending on the size of your serving dishes. Each layer should alternate between yogurt, fruit, and granola.

            Finish with Nuts: If you'd like, on the top layer, sprinkle with the chopped walnuts or pecans for some nutty crunch. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle honey over the top.

              Garnish: Complete your parfait by adding a few fresh mint leaves on top, providing a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.

                Serve Immediately: For the best texture and flavor, enjoy your Autumn Harvest Fruit & Yogurt Parfaits immediately. Alternatively, you can refrigerate them for up to one hour if you're preparing ahead of time.
