To Assemble

1. On a serving plate, dollop and smear a few large spoonfuls of yoghurt.
2. Top with spoonfuls of the baked apples and pears, sprinkle the granola, add some fresh sliced apple or pear, sprinkle some chia seeds, add a few rosemary sprigs, and drizzle with honey. Serve and enjoy!

Breakfast Pots

1. To make the breakfast pots simply layer a few spoonfuls of yoghurt, the apple and pear mixture, the granola, some freshly sliced apple or pear, a sprinkle of chia seeds, and a drizzle of honey into jars then pop them into the fridge. The breakfast pots will keep for a few days. 

*This honey rosemary granola would also taste delicious with fresh stone fruit instead of the baked apples and pears.
