Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 large pears peeled and chopped (any kind will work, but I prefer barlett)
  • 2 large apples peeled and chopped (I prefer a sweet and tart apple like pink lady or honeycrisp)
  • 1 vanilla bean split and scraped
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 8 ounces bacon ends and pieces cooked

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine apple and pear pieces, the scraped vanilla bean seeds along with the remaining pod, and maple syrup. Cook until soft and tender, about 20 minutes. For me, the pears became very soft and the apples remained more firm. When done, remove vanilla bean pod and discard.
  • Prepare bacon ends and pieces according to directions.
  • Top pancakes or waffles with a big scoop of apple pear mixture and then sprinkle with cooked bacon pieces.
