A simple recipe for tender baked pears spiced with cinnamon and sweetened with honey, perfect as a warm dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 firm pears (Bosc or Anjou recommended)
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into 4 small pieces (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash the pears. Cut each pear in half lengthwise and use a spoon or melon baller to remove the core and seeds.
  3. Place the pear halves, cut-side up, in a small baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the honey and cinnamon together.
  5. Spoon the honey-cinnamon mixture evenly over the cut surface of each pear half.
  6. Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish.
  7. If using butter, place one small piece on top of the filling of each pear half.
  8. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork.
  9. Serve warm, spooning any remaining syrup from the dish over the pears.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute maple syrup for honey.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a complete dessert.
  • To make a savory version, skip the cinnamon and honey; instead, top with crumbled goat cheese and chopped walnuts before baking.
