Instructions

Prepare the apple compote

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for 10-15 minutes until apples are tender and the mixture thickens slightly.

Pro tip: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Cool the compote

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the apple compote cool completely before assembling the verrines.

Mix the yogurt

In a bowl, stir together Greek yogurt and maple syrup until well combined and smooth.

Pro tip: Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup.

Assemble the verrines

In each serving glass, layer 2 tablespoons of apple compote, 2 tablespoons of maple yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of granola. Repeat the layers.

Pro tip: Clear glasses work best to showcase the beautiful layers.

Chill the verrines

Refrigerate the assembled verrines for at least 1 hour to allow the flavours to meld.

Pro tip: Cover with plastic wrap to prevent the granola from softening.

Serve

Serve chilled, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream.

Pro tip: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra aroma.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these verrines chilled, allowing the layers to settle and the flavours to deepen. They pair wonderfully with a warm cup of coffee or tea. For a make-ahead option, prepare the apple compote and granola in advance and assemble the verrines just before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to two days, ensuring they remain covered to maintain freshness.
