These roasted apples and pears make for an easy and delicious dessert that you can bake while eating dinner. Eat as is or top with ice cream.
This is a simple dish, but sometimes they are the best ones. I wanted to make a dessert but I wasn’t in the mood to bake. I’m not the best baker so perhaps that’s why but I hoped I could roast some fruit and it would taste good. I bought a few pears and we always have apples on hand and roasted them together with some coconut sugar. Delicious!
I used two Fuji apples and 1 Bosc pear and 1 Barlett pear. I picked them purely for their colors rather than their taste but you can use what ever type of apples and pears that you like.
I melted some coconut oil in a large baking dish, tossed the fruit to coat them with the oil and then spread them evenly. Next I sprinkled them with coconut sugar and set them in a 400 degree oven. If you’d rather use butter or ghee that would be nice too instead of the coconut oil and you can use brown sugar instead of the coconut sugar if you want. I personally like to use coconut products when I can but it’s not for everyone.
Roasted Apples and Pears with Coconut Sugar
Check them after 30 minutes for doneness. We like ours a little harder so they were ready after 30 minutes. Cook them longer if you prefer them softer.
I was tempted to add some whipped coconut cream on top or even some vanilla ice cream but they were tasty as is. I hope you enjoy this simple but tasty dessert.

I’ve never tried this in the oven, I’ve just cooked it on the stovetop. I’m going to try it your way next time. Thanks for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party. I have pinned your post to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Board.
