# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The contrast between cold yogurt and crunchy apples creates this lovely textural dance that wakes up your taste buds even on the groggiest mornings.
- You can customize every element to your mood or whatever ingredients you have on hand, making it perfect for those days when the pantry feels a bit sparse.
02 -
- The granola will begin softening after about five minutes in contact with the yogurt, so either eat quickly or layer it on right before serving if you value maximum crunch.
- Warming the apples briefly in a skillet with a sprinkle of cinnamon transforms this into a cozy cold-weather version that feels like having apple pie for breakfast.
03 -
- Briefly toasting the nuts in a dry skillet before adding them intensifies their flavor and brings out essential oils that complement the apples beautifully.
- For special occasions, try layering all ingredients in clear glasses instead of bowls to create a stunning parfait effect that showcases all the colors and textures.
