Wash your pears and cut them in half lengthwise.
Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out the seeds.
Brush the melted butter on the cut sides and sprinkle the coconut sugar and ground cinnamon over the butter.
Place the pear halves cut side up in the air fryer basket.
Air fry on 330F for 9-11 minutes, or until a knife or fork can easily slide through the pears.
Use tongs to carefully remove from the air fryer basket and serve with your choice of toppings.

For the best results, use pears that are just ripened but still firm (not hard). If they're too ripe, they'll get too soft in the air fryer and could fall apart.
Bartlett pears tend to soften more that Bosc or Anjou when baked, so I suggest using Bartletts that are still slightly green and firm.
The firmer the pear, the longer it will take to air fry. The riper it is, the quicker it will cook and the softer it will be.
If the pear halves aren't stable, just cut a little piece off the back to help them sit better in the air fryer basket.
This recipe was made in a 5.8 quart air fryer. If you have a smaller air fryer, you may need to air fry the pears in two batches.
Air fryer brands can differ, so you may need to adjust the time and temperature slightly. This recipe was tested in a Cosori air fryer.
