Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large apples
- 2 large pears
- 3 small fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high. Place an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Wash the apples and pears thoroughly. Cut them into quarters and remove the cores. Slice each quarter into 3 or 4 wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the honey, olive oil, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Add the apple and pear wedges to the bowl and toss until the fruit is evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil. Spread the fruit wedges out in a single layer on the sheet.
Tuck the rosemary sprigs among the fruit, ensuring the sprigs are evenly distributed to infuse the aroma during cooking.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler. Broil for 10-15 minutes, turning the fruit halfway through, until the edges are golden and caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Discard the rosemary sprigs. Let the fruit cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally drizzling with extra honey or pairing with a dollop of vanilla yogurt or ice cream for added indulgence.
