Ingredients 

  • ½ cup molasses sugar
  • ⅓ cup apple cider
  • 4 Tbsps coconut oil cold, solid
  • 1 tsp ginger freshly ground
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 tsp cloves
  • 5 pears peeled, halved and cored
  • ⅓ tsp vanilla seeds
  • 1 sheet vegan puff pastry

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F.
  • In an oven-friendly skillet over medium heat, add the molasses sugar and apple cider. Stir to combine until the sugar has melted.
  • Add the freshly ground ginger, cardamom, cloves and vanilla, and cook for about a minute, until the caramel turns runny. Turn the heat to low.
  • Add the pear halves and stir to coat them in the caramel.
  • Arrange them in a single layer, cut side down.
  • Turn off the heat and add the coconut oil.
  • Carefully place the pastry sheet on top and, using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, tuck in the edges along the rim of the skillet.
  • Place it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden.
  • Let it cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Place a dish on top of the skillet and, with a quick motion, invert the skillet.
  • Serve!

Notes

Best served warm, on its own or with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently to crisp the pastry.
