Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, core, and dice pear into ½-inch pieces. Quarter lemon.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add pear, cinnamon, brown sugar, half the maple syrup, ¼ cup water, juice from one lemon wedge, and a pinch of salt (½ cup water and juice from two wedges for 4). (Save remaining lemon wedges for another use.) • Bring mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pear is softened, 10-12 minutes. Gently mash with a potato masher or fork until mixture is soft but still chunky. • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, crème fraîche, and remaining maple syrup.
• Toast waffles until golden brown. • Divide yogurt mixture between two small serving cups or bowls (four cups or bowls for 4 servings). Garnish with almonds and dried cranberries.
• Divide waffles between plates; top with pear compote. Serve with parfaits on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the delicious pear compote, though some found it overly sweet; adjusting sugar to taste is recommended 🍐.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, though some noted the pear compote took longer to cook than expected.
- Suggestions: Consider toasting waffles in the oven if they're too thick for your toaster; 4 minutes per side at 350°F works well.
- Portions: Several felt one waffle per person wasn't enough; consider ordering extra for a more filling meal.
- Yogurt parfait: Mixed reviews; some loved it, others found it too tart. Try adding extra maple syrup for more sweetness.
