Ingredients:
4 ripe Bartlett pears
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup oatmeal (non instant)
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
6 tbsp cold, unsalted butter, cubed
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
For Caramel Sauce:
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup water
6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
½ cup heavy cream
Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation:
- Preheat the Speed Oven: Convection Bake to 375 °F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, oatmeal, flour, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Line a glass tray with parchment paper. Slice the pears in half lengthwise. Hollow out about 1 Tbsp in the middle of the pear.
- Fill the pear with the crumb topping, and place on the glass tray.
- Place the tray in the Speed Oven, Shelf Level 2. Select Operating Modes/Combination Bake and Broil. Set the Power Level to 3, the Temperature to 375F and the duration for 20 minutes. Press Start.
- In the meantime, make the caramel sauce: Add the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until just combined and let the sugar melt to a light amber colour.
- Carefully add the butter and whisk until all the butter has melted.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly pour in the cream, whisking constantly until all the cream has been incorporated. Let cool.
- When the pears are ready, remove from the oven. Place a pear on a plate, drizzle with the caramel sauce, and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
