Caramel Dipped Bosc Pears

With fall season in full beauty, I am craving more and more fall themed food, and these Caramel Dipped Bosc Pears are no exception. While caramel apples seem to be the “go to” fruit when it comes to caramel dipping, I encourage you to try Caramel Dipped Bosc Pears as they are truly delicious. This is such a sweet and healthy snack, that you can indulge into even when a midnight cravings strikes. They are crisp, crunchy, sweet and juicy. Also, the pears flavor pairs perfectly with the caramel sauce. Also, they are so easy and fun to make, that this would be such a fun project to do with kids. Bonus points to the fact that you won’t feel guilty by feeding them some healthy dessert! After all, they are having fruit in this case!

I made some of my famous caramel sauce, that literally takes only 10 minutes to whip together. After the sauce has cooled slightly, I dipped the bosc pears into it. If you prefer your pears plain, go for it. Because the caramel is more than enough to turn the pears into a real treat. But if you are looking for something extra, roll the Caramel Dipped Bosc Pears into some crushed nuts or sprinkles for some extra texture and fun.

What are Bosc Pears used for?

Bosc pears can be used in variety of baking recipes. Since, they have a more firm, dense flesh than other pear varieties, so they are ideal for use in baking, broiling or poaching. In addition, they retain their shape and texture better than other pears, and their flavor is less likely to be overwhelmed by the use of strong spices like cinnamon, clove or nutmeg. Also, they are perfect to be enjoyed as a fruit snack, since they are quite healthy and delicious.

Can I substitute apples for pears?

Absolutely! Apples can be great alternative to many fruit recipes including this one. Follow the same steps to get a delicious caramel dipped apples.
