Notes

Storage: The apple compote can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, while assembled parfaits are best enjoyed fresh. Separate components if storing for more than a few hours.

For an extra crunch, consider adding nuts or seeds to your yogurt parfait. If you’re short on time, you can prepare the apple compote ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Feel free to substitute Greek yogurt for a protein boost or use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.

To enhance the flavor of the apple compote, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of raisins. These parfaits can be served in individual glasses for an elegant presentation or in a large bowl for a family-style brunch.
