Instructions:
  1. Combine the farro, salt, and 1½ cups water in a medium saucepan. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the farro is plump and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the farro in a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining water and set aside.
  2. In a small skillet warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the apples and sauté them until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the cinnamon and stir to combine. Fold in the hazelnuts and cranberries.
  3. Divide the farro among four bowls and top each portion with the apple mixture. Add a dollop of yogurt and a drizzle of honey to each and serve.
