Air Fryer Pears
Description
This recipe begins by preparing Bartlett pears by either peeling or leaving the skin on, then quartering them and removing cores and seeds. The pear pieces are tossed with maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg to evenly coat the fruit with warm spices and natural sweetness. They are arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow even cooking without crowding, and air fried at 380°F until caramelized and golden.
The method yields soft, tender pears with lightly caramelized exteriors that enhance their flavor and texture. Serving options include garnishes such as dried raspberries, toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, granola, or whipped cream, allowing customization for dessert or a sweet snack.
