Notes

To cook dry wheat berries, cover them with water in a large pot and cook uncovered over medium-high heat for about 45 minutes, adding more water as needed as the grains absorb it. Cook longer for a softer texture or less time for more crunch; all the water should be absorbed or evaporated when finished. For make-ahead preparation, lightly treat the diced apples with lemon juice or salt water to help limit browning. Use a thicker yogurt, such as Greek yogurt, to help prevent the mixture from becoming watery in the refrigerator.
