Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apricots, 1/4 cup of sugar, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apricots evenly and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the apricot mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the cobbler topping evenly over the apricots.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the apricots are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- To assemble the parfait, layer the warm apricot cobbler, vanilla yogurt, and whipped cream in serving glasses or bowls.
- Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Tips
- For a fun twist, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apricot mixture for added warmth.
- You can substitute peaches or nectarines for the apricots for a different flavor profile.
- For a healthier option, use Greek yogurt instead of regular vanilla yogurt.
