Ingredients

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ cup apple cider caramel sauce (recipe below)
  • 1 cup cinnamon sugar pecan pieces (recipe below)
  • 1 cup diced apples (variety of your choice)
  • ½ cup pomegranate arils

Apple Cider Caramel Sauce

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • cup heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider

Cinnamon Sugar Pecans

  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt, cinnamon, and sugar.
  • Spoon a scoop of the cinnamon yogurt into the bottom of two glasses or a mason jars.
  • Drizzle a thin layer of caramel sauce over the yogurt and top with cinnamon sugar pecan pieces.
  • Sprinkle on a layer of diced apples and top with pomegranate arils. 
  • Top with another layer of yogurt, caramel and pecan pieces.

Apple Cider Caramel Sauce

  • In a medium saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat. Stir frequently with a rubber spatula until sugar turns into a smooth amber-color liquid.
  • Stir butter into sugar. Note that the mixture will bubble quite a bit with the addition of the butter. Stir for about 2 minutes, until butter is melted and incorporated into sugar.
  • Stir the cream into the mixture (it will likely bubble more) and let the mixture come to a boil.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in cinnamon, salt, and apple cider.
  • Store in a mason jar or tightly sealed container in the fridge until ready to use.

Cinnamon Sugar Pecans

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg white and water until frothy.
  • In a separate small bowl, mix together sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Put pecan halves into egg white mixture until well-coated. Remove from egg white mixture and place in bowl with sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Coat pecans completely and place in single layer on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake at 250 degrees for one hour, stirring every 20 minutes or so. Remove from oven and let rest before chopping into smaller pieces.

Notes

  • If you don't want to make the apple cider caramel, feel free to use any store-bought caramel.
  • While recipe makes 2 parfaits, it makes enough caramel sauce and pecans for more.
