Recipe Introduction
Arranging the ingredients in a glass gives this dessert the look of a parfait. Mascarpone is a triple-cream cheese that's sold in tubs with the gourmet cheeses; you can substitute regular cream cheese, but it won't be as creamy.
List of Ingredients
4 cups thinly sliced peeled Red Delicious apple (about 2 apples)
2/3 cup apple juice
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons raisins
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, divided
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon rum flavoring
3 ounces mascarpone cheese
3/4 cup low-fat cinnamon crisp graham cracker crumbs (about 8 crackers), divided
1 cup vanilla fat-free frozen yogurt
Mascarpone cheese (optional)
Recipe
Combine first 6 ingredients and 1/4 teaspoon allspice in a medium saucepan. Cook 20 minutes over medium-low heat until apples are tender and mixture is slightly thick. Remove apple mixture from heat; let cool. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon allspice, vanilla, rum flavoring, and mascarpone.
Spoon 1/4 cup apple mixture into each of 4 parfait glasses; sprinkle each with 1-1/2 tablespoons crumbs. Top each with 1/4 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup apple mixture, and 1-1/2 tablespoons crumbs. Garnish with additional mascarpone cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
YIELD: 4 servings
