# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It secretly transforms everyday fruit into a golden-topped breakfast that feels special and indulgent.
  • The mix of soft, baked pears and crisp granola leaves everyone scraping their bowls for more.
02 -
  • Leaving the fruit too thick can make the base watery—thin slices bake more evenly.
  • Swapping in coconut oil for the butter boosted the aroma way more than I expected.
03 -
  • Don’t skimp on vanilla—it rounds out the flavors in unexpected ways.
  • Use parchment if you hate scrubbing baked-on dishes; it’s a small thing but a lifesaver for cleanup.
