These were supposed to be parfaits composed of layers of sautéed apples and pears, topped with chopped walnuts and crystalized ginger. The pear-walnut-ginger combo sounded great!

I ran out of walnuts last week and I haven't had a chance to restock yet, but I figured it would be fine to substitute some chopped pecans for the walnuts. Pear-pecan isn't the classic combo that pear-walnut is, but it's still nice. Unfortunately, when I went to start peeling my pears this morning, I found they'd gone off and were unsalvageable. So, for this iteration, I ended up having to make it entirely with apples, rather than the pear-apple mix that the recipe called for. It was still good, but I think it'd be even nicer with pears.
