    Vanilla Maple with Cinnamon granola

    From The Hampton Grocer · Montauk, New York · @thehamptongrocer

    Samantha Sherman ran events for O Ya and Covina in Manhattan until Covid shut them down. She moved out to Montauk, started a grocery shopping service, and her mother-in-law Janet Perlstein's granola became the first thing she made to sell. They still make it together. In 2022 her grain-free granola won best new product at the Summer Fancy Food Show.

    A mother-in-law's granola, from Montauk. Clusters you actually want to eat out of the bag. I put it on roasted pears and yogurt and call it breakfast.

    Save to my recipes

    You need

    • 2 ripe but firm pears (Bosc or Anjou)
    • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 tbsp maple syrup
    • A pinch of ground cinnamon
    • A pinch of kosher salt
    • 1½ cups (360 g) whole-milk Greek yogurt
    • 1 cup (about 100 g) The Hampton Grocer Vanilla Maple with Cinnamon granola
    • Honey, to finish (optional)

    How to make it

    1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a small sheet pan with parchment.
    2. Halve the pears and scoop out the cores with a spoon.
    3. Toss them with the butter, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt, and lay them cut side down.
    4. Roast for 18 to 20 minutes, until the undersides are deep gold and a knife slides in easily.
    5. Spoon the yogurt into two bowls and set the pears on top with any juices from the pan.
    6. Scatter the granola over just before eating, and add a little honey if you like it sweeter.
