Apple Pie Breakfast Parfait {and thoughts on embracing photo gaffes}

Ingredients

• 1 medium apple, preferably organic
• 2 tsp butter
• 2 tsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp apple pie spice, divided (alternately, you can use 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp each of ground nutmeg and cloves)
• 1/4 cup apple cider
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used 0%)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup granola of your choice, I suggest my Apple Cinnamon Granola
