Make this simple yet elegant dessert. Ripe pears bake until tender with a warm cinnamon honey glaze, creating a comforting treat perfect for any evening.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 firm ripe pears (Bosc or Anjou work well)
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish that fits the pears snugly.
  2. Wash the pears. Cut each pear in half lengthwise and use a melon baller or small spoon to carefully remove the core and seeds.
  3. Place the pear halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the honey and cinnamon together until combined.
  5. Spoon the honey cinnamon mixture evenly over the cut surface of each pear half.
  6. Place a small piece of butter into the center cavity of each pear half.
  7. Pour the 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish around the pears.
  8. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork. Baking time depends on the ripeness of your pears.
  9. If using walnuts, sprinkle them over the pears during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  10. Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Spoon any accumulated syrup over the pears before serving warm.

Notes

  • For an elegant presentation, serve each pear half with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  • If you prefer a savory contrast, substitute the walnuts with a small amount of crumbled goat cheese added during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • This recipe works well with other spices like a pinch of nutmeg or allspice mixed with the cinnamon.
