Zubereitung

1. 1

   Wash the pears, halve them and scoop the core out with a teaspoon to leave a round hollow.

2. 2

   Drizzle the cut surfaces with the lemon juice so that the pale flesh does not turn brown.

3. 3

   Stir the soft butter or margarine smooth with the sugar and the cinnamon and spread the mixture into the hollows.

4. 4

   Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C.

5. 5

   Set the pear halves cut side up in a single layer in the basket, spaced apart and not stacked; cook a larger quantity in two batches. Cook at 180 °C.

6. 6

   Scatter the flaked almonds over the halves and carry on cooking at 180 °C without turning them until the pears are soft and the almonds have taken on colour. Do not turn them, as the melted filling would otherwise run out of the hollow.
