Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe but firm pears (e.g., Bosc or Anjou)
- 0.5 cups walnuts, chopped
- 0.25 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cups water
- whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the pears and slice them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out the core and seeds, creating a small hollow in the center of each pear half.
Brush the cut sides of the pears with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a medium bowl, combine the walnuts, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly coated and form a crumbly filling.
Place the pear halves cut-side up in a baking dish. Fill the hollowed centers of each pear with the prepared filling, pressing it down gently to pack it in.
Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the stuffed pears to add extra sweetness, if desired.
Pour water into the bottom of the baking dish to help keep the pears moist during cooking.
Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the filling is golden and slightly crisp.
Remove the pears from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
