Caramelized Apple Parfaits
.
Ingredients:
4 - baking apples,
large, such as Rome, Golden Delicious or Cortland, peeled, cored and thinly
sliced
2 teaspoon butter
1 tablespoon
fresh lemon juice
2 cup nonfat
vanilla yogurt
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon
walnuts, chopped and toasted, optional
2 tablespoon
water
Instructions:
Line a colander or sieve
with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and set it over a bowl. Spoon in yogurt
and let drain for about 30 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, in a medium-sized
heavy saucepan, stir together sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring
to dissolve the sugar. Cook, without stirring, until the syrup turns deep
amber, about 5 minutes. (Do not let the syrup burn.) Remove the pan from
the heat, add butter and swirl the pan until the butter has melted. Add
apples and lemon juice. Return to low heat, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Uncover, and cook, stirring
occasionally, until apples are tender and translucent and the juice has
thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes.
Let cool slightly, about
5 minutes.
3 Spoon alternating layers
of the caramelized apples and drained yogurt into 4 parfait or wine glasses.
Sprinkle walnuts over top, if desired.
