To serve, layer 1/4 cup yogurt mixture, 2 tablespoons granola, 3 tablespoons chopped apple and 1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds in each of 8 parfait glasses. Repeat layers. (Save remaining granola for another use; store in an airtight container.)
Drizzle parfaits with remaining honey. Serve immediately.
