Instructions
- 01
Prepare the Peaches: Wash the peaches and pat them dry. Remove the pits and cut the peaches into small bite-sized cubes. Place the diced peaches in a medium bowl, add 1 tablespoon of honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Gently stir until evenly coated and let sit for 10 minutes to release natural juices.
- 02
Make the Creamy Yogurt Filling: Add Greek yogurt to a clean mixing bowl. Pour in 2 tablespoons of honey and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture becomes completely smooth, silky, and creamy.
- 03
Make the Graham Cracker Crumbs: Place the graham cracker crumbs in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened like damp sand.
- 04
Assemble the Dessert Cups: Set six small clear glasses on your work surface. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs to the bottom. Spoon a generous layer of creamy Greek yogurt filling over the crumbs, then add a layer of prepared peaches. Repeat layers as space allows.

Chill & Serve: Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors marry. Just before serving, top each cup with a fresh peach slice, a sprinkle of graham crumbs, and a small drizzle of honey. Enjoy cold!
