Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 apple
- 2 pear
- 1 banana
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Wash the apples, pears, and blueberries. Peel the apples and pears, then core and dice them into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the banana and slice it into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely.
Add the diced apples and pears to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Stir in the banana slices and blueberries. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the fruit is warm and the blueberries begin to release their juices.
Drizzle the honey over the fruit and sprinkle with the ground cinnamon. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract, stirring gently to coat the fruit evenly.
Cook for another 2 minutes, making sure the fruit is fully warmed through and lightly caramelized but not mushy.
Remove from heat and transfer the warm fruit to serving bowls. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately as-is, or pair with yogurt, ice cream, or oatmeal for a delightful topping.
