How to Make Crock Pot Maple Sauced Pears

  1. Peel 4 ripe but firm pears, leaving stems intact.
  2. Carefully core pears from the bottom, being careful not to pierce through the top.
  3. Place the cored pears upright in your slow cooker.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
  5. Pour the maple syrup mixture evenly over the pears in the slow cooker.
  6. Cover and cook on high for 2-2.5 hours, or until pears are easily pierced with a fork.
  7. Carefully remove pears from the slow cooker and set aside.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons orange juice until smooth.
  9. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker and stir well to combine with the remaining sauce.
  10. Cover and cook on high for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  11. Place pears upright on individual dessert plates.
  12. Spoon the warm maple sauce generously over each pear.
  13. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans or coconut flakes and a dollop of whipped cream.
  14. Finish with a decorative orange twist for an extra touch of elegance.
