Enjoy quick and flavorful caramelized pears infused with cinnamon, perfect for a cozy snack or dessert.

1 large ripe pear (peeling optional (Bosc or Bartlett preferred, organic if possible))
1 tsp vegan butter, coconut oil, or neutral oil (such as avocado (dairy butter works, too))
2 tsp maple syrup or brown sugar
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp lemon juice

Quarter the pear, remove cores, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add oil or vegan butter, and swirl to coat.
Add pears in a single layer, cover, and cook for 2 minutes until they brown slightly.
Remove lid, add sweetener and cinnamon, toss gently, and cook uncovered for 1-2 minutes until caramelized.
Deglaze with lemon juice, stir, and remove from heat.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings; best enjoyed fresh within 3 days.

Use organic pears for best flavor and nutrition.
