Crunchy Apple Yogurt Sundaes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, whipped topping and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Add apples and cranberries; toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with walnuts and remaining cinnamon before serving.

Steps:

• In four parfait glasses or bowls, layer half of the yogurt, granola, bananas and oranges. Repeat layers. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the applesauce: Put the apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan with a lid. Bring to a boil, then cover, turn to heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the apples are completely soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste, and add more sugar if desired.
• Off the heat, mash the apples well with a potato masher or a fork. Allow to cool before serving in the parfaits.
• For the crispy quinoa: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Toss the quinoa, coconut oil and honey in a bowl and spread in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove to a baking rack to cool.
• For the parfaits: Mix together the yogurt, vanilla bean seeds and vanilla extract in a bowl. Spoon some of the yogurt mixture into four parfait glasses. Scatter some quinoa on top, then spoon in a thick layer of applesauce. Sprinkle with more quinoa, add another thick layer of yogurt, and sprinkle again with quinoa. Add a dollop each of applesauce and yogurt, and a final sprinkling of quinoa. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs if desired.
