Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla based on your preference)

1 large apple, diced (opt for a sweet variety such as Honeycrisp or Fuji for best flavor)

1 large pear, diced

1 cup pomegranate seeds (fresh or store-bought)

1 cup granola (select your favorite variety for added taste and texture)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon honey (optional for added sweetness)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for a crunchy topping)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional for a touch of freshness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruit: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apple and pear. For an enhanced autumnal flavor, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the fruit and gently mix to ensure an even coating.

    Create the Base Layer: Grab clear glasses or bowls for serving. Start by adding a generous spoonful of Greek yogurt to the bottom of each glass, creating a smooth base.

      Add the Fruit Layer: Next, layer the cinnamon-coated apple and pear mixture on top of the yogurt, ensuring an even distribution for taste in every bite.

        Incorporate Crunch: Sprinkle a handful of pomegranate seeds over the fruity layer, giving it a vibrant color and a burst of flavor.

          Add Granola: Follow with a layer of granola, which introduces a satisfying crunch to the parfait.

            Repeat the Layers: Continue layering the ingredients (yogurt, fruit, pomegranate seeds, and granola) until the serving glasses are filled, usually about two to three layers, depending on the height of your containers.

              Top it Off: For an extra touch, if desired, finish with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans on top. Drizzle honey over the parfait for an extra layer of sweetness.

                Garnish: To elevate your presentation, add a few fresh mint leaves on top. Their vibrant green will enhance both the visual appeal and flavor of the dish.

                  Serve Immediately: These delightful Autumn Harvest Fruit & Yogurt Parfaits are best enjoyed immediately to maintain their texture. If you need to prepare them in advance, they can be refrigerated for up to an hour before serving.
