Ingredients

1 Tablespoon coconut oil or butter
2 medium firm pears
2 medium apples
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cup whole or halved pecans
½ cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 3 quart baking dish with the coconut oil or butter. Peel, core, and halve the pears. Peel, core, and quarter the apples. Place the pears and the apples face up in the baking dish and sprinkle with the cinnamon.
Put the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the cranberries and pecans evenly into the baking dish. Evenly drizzle on the maple syrup. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the apples are fork tender.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
Serve as a side dish or a warm dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. You could also cool the dish and serve it with yogurt or oatmeal.

Notes

Feel free to use any variety of pear you'd like or any variety of apple you'd like, as long as they are firm and not soft. We like red anjou pears, one tart granny smith apple, and one honeycrisp apple.
