Directions
Place apple chunks in a microwave-safe dish with Вј cup of water and cover. Microwave for 2ВЅ minutes. Drain water and set aside.
Mix Splenda, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into ВЅ cup of cold water. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, cook and stir liquid mixture until thickened to a caramel-sauce-like consistency (add a few drops more water if sauce becomes too thick). Remove from heat and stir apples into the mixture. Allow to cool and set for several minutes (for a warm parfait) or refrigerate until cold.
Once ready to serve, layer apple mixture, yogurt, and crushed rice cakes (or soy crisps) evenly into 2 cups. Add a little whipped topping, if you like.
