Ingredients:

- coconut oil- I love to use LouAna's 100% Pure Coconut Oil
- brown sugar
- butter
- ground cinnamon
HOW TO MAKE PEARS IN THE AIR FRYER:
-
Rinse pears, and then slice in half. Use a melon baller or spoon to remove the seeds and core.
-
Then, brush both sides of the pear halves using coconut oil.
-
Place coated pears in the air fryer basket, cut side down and air fry at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes. Don't overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches if necessary.
-
After 8-10 minutes, turn pears over, and continue air frying at 350 degrees for an additional 4-5 minutes.
-
While pears are air frying, in a small bowl, stir together butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
-
Once pears are done air frying and are softened, divide and spoon the butter and brown sugar cinnamon mixture into each slice of pear cavity.
-
Return basket to air fryer and air fry for 2-4 more minutes, until the butter has completely melted and the brown sugar has caramelized.
-
Serve caramelized pears warm as is or add your topping of choice, like a granola topping.
I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.
FAQ's
This foolproof recipe makes a perfect dessert or delicious breakfast. My favorite toppings on cooked pears are simple with just a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream, a sprinkle of granola, or fresh seasonal fruit, a drizzle of honey, or any flavor of sweet sauce. When serving for breakfast with yogurt or Canadian maple syrup, they pair perfectly.
There are several pear varieties. This recipe works best with fresh fruits. I use green or red Bartlett Pears because they are very crunchy pears. You can use Red Anjou or a Bosc pear as well. If you want to use canned pears, the cooking times will be much less than fresh cut pears, and they may be too soft to easily remove from the basket.
Store leftover pears in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat baked pears, return to the air fryer and air fry at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes, until they are warm. These pears are also delicious cold.
