Fresh European apricots bring their delicate sweetness and distinctive aroma to this colourful layered parfait. Combined with creamy Greek yogurt, crunchy oats and toasted almonds, it is a simple way to turn fresh seasonal fruit into an inviting breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 8 ripe apricots
- 400 g Greek yogurt
- 100 g rolled oats or granola
- 40 g almonds, roughly chopped or sliced
- 2 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- A few fresh mint leaves, for serving
Method
- Wash the apricots, cut them in half and remove the stones. Cut the fruit into small pieces, reserving a few slices for the top.
- Place the almonds in a dry pan over medium heat and toast for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- If using rolled oats rather than granola, toast them in the same dry pan for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Spoon a layer of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each serving glass.
- Add a layer of fresh apricots, followed by the oats or granola and a few toasted almonds.
- Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled.
- Finish with the reserved apricot slices, toasted almonds and a drizzle of honey.
- Add a light sprinkle of cinnamon and a few fresh mint leaves just before serving.
Serving suggestion
Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or prepare the yogurt and apricot layers in advance and add the oats, almonds and honey just before serving. Enjoy as a fresh breakfast, an afternoon snack or a simple fruit-based dessert.
