So far I’ve used bananas and blueberries in my Brunch Week recipes, so I wanted to go a different route and use another fruit for my parfait. I’ve always liked apple cakes, so why not go with an apple parfait? I peeled a Fuji apple and chopped it up into pieces, mixed that with some cinnamon, sugar and vanilla extract and let it cook on the stove for about 10 minutes or so — until the apple chunks were nice and soft. Then I got out my food processor and threw in all mycrumb-topping ingredients and pulsed away. Pretty sure I had everything ready to assemble my parfait.
Special thanks to our Brunch Week sponsor, California Walnuts, for sending me a bag of walnuts to use in one of my recipes. They were the perfect addition to the crumble. I also used Stonyfield Greek Yogurt — they’re another one of our Brunch Week sponsors.

1 tsp coconut oil
1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 cup walnuts
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tbsp nutmeg
For the cooked apples:
1 medium apple, peeled and chopped
1-2 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup water
1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
In a small bowl, mix the chopped apples with cinnamon, sugar and vanilla. Place into a sauce pan and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes or until the apples are softened.
While your apples are cooking, put all of the crumb-topping ingredients in a food processor and pulse until completely combined.
Assemble with plain Greek Yogurt (or any yogurt of your choosing)
