Method
- Wash and dry the pears. Slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the core and seeds from each half, creating a small well. Lightly brush the cut surfaces with lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter (or coconut oil), honey (or maple syrup), and cinnamon until well combined to make the glaze.
- Place the pear halves cut side up and generously coat the cut surface with the cinnamon glaze using a pastry brush or spoon, ensuring some pools in the center well.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place pear halves in the basket in a single layer without overlapping.
- Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, checking around 10 minutes. Pears are done when tender and edges are golden caramelized.
- Remove pears carefully from the air fryer. Sprinkle chopped walnuts (or chosen topping) into the center of each pear half.
