Ingredients:

  • 1 pear
  • 1 plum

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp butter or margarine

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. Prepare fruit: Wash and slice the pear and plum, removing any seeds or stems. Place them in a well-greased 11 x 7-inch oven-proof dish.

  3. Prepare sugar mixture: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the fruit. Drizzle with vanilla extract and dot with butter or margarine.

  4. Toss ingredients: Gently toss the fruit and sugar mixture to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Turn the fruit over halfway through the baking time to ensure even caramelization. The fruit should start to brown, and the sugar should caramelize.

  6. Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven. Serve the baked fruit warm.

  7. Optional: Drizzle with low-fat plain yogurt before serving, if desired.

Tips:

  • Feel free to experiment with different types of fruit based on what’s in season or your personal preferences.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to your taste.
  • Serve the baked fruit with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
