I must admit, I always liked the idea of baked pears more than I imagined enjoying them, especially when compared to an apple crisp (my all-time favorite fall dessert). But I must say, this dish stole my heart. We shared it with neighbors and they said it was “perfection,” and I have to agree. I was literally spooning every last bit of caramel sauce and melty ice cream into my mouth while savoring the last few bits of buttery pears. Friends, this is a must for fall. This is the perfect dish to serve this holiday season and beyond. It’s elegant, simple (just 30 minutes and 1 dish required), and incredibly delicious. Let us show you how it’s done! It starts with halving the pears and removing the cores. Leaving the stems attached adds an extra layer of elegance for the final presentation. Then the pears are drizzled with coconut or avocado oil for more caramelization and sprinkled with coconut sugar and maple syrup to enhance the natural sweetness. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger add fall flavor and apple cider vinegar and lemon juice add a pleasant tartness. This mixture actually ends up creating a fuss-free, caramel-esque sauce that’s perfect for drizzling over the pears and ice cream for serving! The pears are baked cut-side down until tender, and then baked cut-side up for a few minutes more to get beautifully caramelized. It’s that easy! We hope you LOVE these baked pears!
