Notes
If you don’t have pears on hand, feel free to substitute with apples or any seasonal fruit you love!
If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or replace them with seeds.
This fruit bowl is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Just keep the granola separate until you’re ready to serve to maintain its crunch.
Let your creativity shine as you experiment with different fruits, textures, and flavors!
