I felt inspired this morning and decided to improvise a breakfast parfait.  It’s called a parfait, I suppose, because that’s what those fancy-schmancy cafés call them so they can charge $12 for fruit, yoghurt and cereal/muesli.  Either way, it looks nice and is pretty delicious. Apple and Cinnamon Breakfast Parfait Ingredients: 1 large apple (cored, peeled and chopped into bite-size pieces) 1 Tbs butter 1-1.5 Tbs raw sugar Cinnamon Vanilla essence (optional) Vanilla yoghurt Cereal or muesli Toasted sliced almonds (optional) Method: Sauté the apple pieces in butter, cinnamon, optional vanilla and sugar until it browns and caramelises to your liking. Remove from heat. Layer cereal/muesli and optional nuts with yoghurt and apple in a glass, finishing with yoghurt and a few decorative pieces of apple and nuts on top. Devour. If you don’t want the apple warm, make the apples the night before and refrigerate it.
