When my mother-in-law (Gran to our kids) had us over for brunch, I especially enjoyed her yogurt parfaits. They were refreshing, light and wholesome. I made a few changes to her recipe and came up with this sweet, crunchy and nutty variation. Yum! -Angela Keller, Newburgh, Indiana

I'm not a big fan of granola, but this recipe changed my mind. The granola was so crispy and flavorful, and the yogurt was creamy and smooth. The fruit added a nice sweetness to the parfait. I will definitely be making this again.
