When fall finally arrives I am always excited to try new apple and pear varieties. There are so many to choose from! So today I took a few from my fruit bowl and made this baked pears and apples dessert.

It’s such an easy dessert to make and I found that my whole family loved it. I just sliced the fresh fruit and mixed it with coconut oil and coconut sugar and set them in the oven to bake.

Roasting the fruit brought out even more of their natural sweetness and the coconut sugar helped make a bit of a sweet syrup at the end of the baking. It’s just a simple, family friendly fall dessert to try.

Recipe ingredients I used.

The 4 simple ingredients I used for this fruit dessert were ripe pears and apples, coconut oil and coconut sugar.

I used ended up using 2 Fuji apples and 2 Barlett pears because that is what I had on hand. You can use any variety of apples and pears that you want.

As for the coconut oil you can also use unsalted butter or ghee. And for the coconut sugar you can substitute Lakanto Golden or Swerve brown sugar sweetener to lessen the sugar if you want. Or you could try regular brown sugar if you don’t have any coconut sugar or even honey.

I used coconut sugar because I love the taste of it. And it does have small amounts of minerals, antioxidants and fiber as well as a lower glycemic index than regular sugar. (source)
