Pear and Apple Autumn Breakfast Parfait

The best way to start your day is with a breakfast that isn’t just balanced, but also delicious. There’s no better means of getting the perfect morning mixture of fruit and yogurt than with something so satisfying it moonlights as a gourmet dessert: parfait.

As Harry & David® fans know, there’s a parfait for every season. Sweet lemon parfait is one of our favorite treats to celebrate the beginning of spring. Amid the dog days of summer, pineapple coconut parfait is the sweetest way to cool down. And when cozy season starts to move in, we instantly crave a pear and apple autumn breakfast parfait.
