Hasselback Fall Fruit Platter with baked hasselback apples and pears with homemade maple walnut granola. A perfect seasonal autumn fruit pickable platter.
Prep fruit: Cut apples in pears in half and "hasselback" by creating thin slices on fruit halves. Be careful not to slice all the way through, cut about 60% of the way through (fruit will soften when baking as well so don't cut to close to all the way through).
3 apples, 3 pears
Bake fruit: Place apples and pear halves in a baking dish or cast iron skillet, top with maple syrup, cinnamon and brown sugar and cover with aluminum foil. Bake until soft throughout, about 20 minutes.
2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Build platter: After fruit is done baking, place on platter or wax paper and top with granola and more maple syrup, if desired. Enjoy!
1 cup granola
Notes
Leftovers & Storage: Fruit can be stored for up to five days in refrigerator and reheated when ready to serve.Ideas for Serving: Leftovers will be a great addition to an oatmeal or yogurt bowl, and can even be added to smoothies for a fun fall flavor!
