Make this simple yet elegant dessert that transforms ripe pears into a tender, aromatic treat using a cinnamon honey glaze. It is perfect for cozy nights or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 firm but ripe pears (Bosc or Anjou work well)
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  2. Wash the pears. Cut each pear in half lengthwise and use a melon baller or small spoon to carefully scoop out the core and seeds.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to create the glaze.
  4. Place the pear halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the honey mixture evenly over the cut surface of each pear half.
  5. Pour the 2 tablespoons of water into the bottom of the baking dish to create steam and prevent sticking.
  6. If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top of the pears.
  7. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork. Baking time depends on the ripeness of your pears.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • Serve these warm baked pears with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a complete dessert.
  • For an appetizer version, replace the honey with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and top with crumbled goat cheese before baking.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute brown sugar for half of the honey.
