Move over apples, you've been replaced by amazing and in-season pears for this super scrumptious and easy Hasselback pears recipe! Hello fall, hello dessert!I’m sure by now you’ve all seen the newest food trend of Hasselback apples, but seriously, you’re going to love these easy Hasselback pears even more!

Move over apples, you've been replaced by amazing and in-season pears for this super scrumptious and easy Hasselback pears recipe! Hello fall, hello dessert!Move over apples, you've been replaced by amazing and in-season pears for this super scrumptious and easy Hasselback pears recipe! Hello fall, hello dessert!These little nuggets of joy are reminiscent of apple crisp in terms of the ingredients and flavor profiles, so they are perfect for a fun, fall snack.

When it comes to picking the perfect pear, however, it’s best to use a firmer variety, like Bosc or Anjou. I picked up both, and used the beautiful red Anjou pears for this recipe.

IT WAS DELISH. Like whoa.

Hello fall, hello dessert!Move over apples, you've been replaced by amazing and in-season pears for this super scrumptious and easy Hasselback pears recipe! Hello fall, hello dessert!For these Hasselback pears, you can pretty much treat them just like apples. Peel them, scoop out the cores, then slice almost completely through them, just not all the way.

You can scoop the cores with a melon baller or a pointy spoon!

One of my favorite things about this recipe, however, is skipping the caramel topping and using some delicious Truvia Nectar instead.

Move over apples, you've been replaced by amazing and in-season pears for this super scrumptious and easy Hasselback pears recipe! Hello fall, hello dessert!Did you know? Truvia Nectar is a natural stevia-honey sweetener blend! It has all the sweetness of honey, but with half the calories. Holla!

I drizzle my finished Hasselback pears with some Truvia Nectar and it’s just amazeballs.

You can make these any day since they are so easy and take little time at all to make. Plus, they kind of make your house smell so good you might try to eat the scent alone.

Am I the only one who does that?

Whatevs. Edible air should be a thing. It would be amazing. AHMAZING.

Move over apples, you've been replaced by amazing and in-season pears for this super scrumptious and easy Hasselback pears recipe! Hello fall, hello dessert!Don’t forget to cover the pears in foil for the first part of baking. It helps them soften up without crisping the outsides. Save that part for the yummy oat streusel! Yasssssssss.

Scoop a little bit of ice cream on each Hasselback pear, then top with Truvia Nectar and you have the most nomilicious treat around.

Apples, move over! Your replacement has arrived!

Author: Karly Gomez

Ingredients

  • 2 Anjou Pears
  • 3 Tbsp Unsalted Butter divided
  • 3 Tbsp Brown Sugar divided
  • ¾ tsp Cinnamon divided
  • 1 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Old-Fashioned Oats
  • Ice Cream to serve
  • Truvia Nectar to serve

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Peel the pears, then slice them in half from top to bottom. Remove the core, then place the pears cut-side down. Slice through the pears at ¼ inch intervals, stopping just before reaching the bottom, leaving the slices connected to each other.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter, then whisk in 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Brush the pears with the mixture, pushing some between the slices.
  • Spray a baking dish with cooking spray, add the pears, then cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • While the pears are baking, add the remaining butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and oats and mix by fingers until well blended.
  • Remove the pears from the oven after 25 minutes, then press the streusel mixture into the tops of each pear, working some between the sliced. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Remove pears from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving with ice cream and Truvia Nectar.
