Baked Pears

2 just ripe pear
1 tsp melted coconut oil
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 of 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (1/8 tsp for 4 pears)
1/8 tsp ground ginger (1/4 tsp for 4 pears)
1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (1 tbsp for 4 pears)
1 tbsp lemon juice


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

Set out 9 x 13 or smaller baking dish.

Half pears, remove and core with a small measuring spoon.

Place the cut side up in the baking dish.

Top with coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.

Flip cut side down, bake for 30 minutes or until tender (a knife inserted should easily slide out, bake longer as needed for larger / firmer pears)


Carefully remove from the oven, flip cut side up and bake for additional 5 minutes to slightly caramelized the tops. 

Enjoy as is or with vanilla coconut yogurt or coconut whipped cream or vanilla bean coconut ice cream!

Drizzle the remaining "caramel" sauce left over in the pan for extra flavor and decadence.
