Honey Thyme Roasted Pears & Apples with Maple Cream
Prep time:
Cook time:
Serves: 8

For the pears and apples:
2 pears, halved & cored
2 apples halved & cored
2 tablespoons California olive oil
4 tablespoons honey, divided
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
For the maple mascarpone:
1 cup Mascarpone cheese
½ cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons maple syrup
½ teaspoon lemon zest
salt to taste
For the garnish:
3 tablespoons walnuts, toasted & chopped
1 lemon, zested into thin strips

To make the pears and apples:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Halve and core the pears and apples. Place the halves on the parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side up. Brush the cut sides of the pears and apples with the olive oil. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey evenly over the cut sides, then spread with a spoon all over. Sprinkle the thyme and salt over the pears and apples.
Roast for 20-30 minutes, depending on size, rotating the pan after 10 minutes to ensure even roasting.
Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, carefully transfer the roasted pears and apples to the hot skillet, cut side down. Sear for 1-2 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown in color, using the juices that have pooled in the cored parts to help caramelize them.
Remove from the skillet and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey.
To make the maple mascarpone:
While the pears and apples are roasting, add the mascarpone, heavy cream, maple syrup, and lemon zest to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, whip the mixture until it reaches a stiff consistency, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt to taste and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
To serve:
Spread the maple mascarpone onto a serving platter. Top with the prepared pears and apples, cut side up. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and lemon zest, then serve.
