• 1 Heat a small skillet on medium heat, add the walnuts and toast until golden, about 2-3 minutes, shaking the pan gently during the toasting so the walnuts don’t burn. Remove the walnuts from pan to plate to cool.
• 2 Melt butter in same skillet and add apple, pears, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook until the fruit is soft, about 4-5 minutes. Add the maple syrup and cook until the syrup thickens a bit, approximately 2 minutes. Transfer to plate and cool.
• 3 Divide the yogurt into four parfait dishes. Top with apple-pear mixture and the granola. Sprinkle with walnuts and drizzle with just a bit of maple syrup. Serve.
