Ingredients
- 4 pears, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for cooking the pears evenly.
- Toss pears with seasoning: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and cubed pears with cinnamon, sugar, and melted butter, ensuring each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
- Arrange pears in air fryer basket: Spread the coated pear cubes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow even cooking without overcrowding.
- Air fry the pears: Cook the pears for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even caramelization and tenderness.
- Serve warm: Once tender and caramelized, remove the pears from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Use firm but ripe pears such as Bartlett or Anjou for optimal texture and sweetness.
- Adjust sugar amount according to your preferred level of sweetness or substitute with honey or maple syrup for variation.
- Shaking the basket halfway through cooking prevents uneven browning and sticking.
- Serve as a warm dessert on its own or as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream.
