Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe pears (such as Bosc or Anjou)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons natural honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash the pears thoroughly. Cut each pear in half lengthwise and remove the cores with a spoon or melon baller.
Place the pear halves cut side up in a baking dish.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, butter, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is well combined.
Pour the honey mixture over the pears, ensuring each pear half is coated.
Evenly sprinkle cinnamon over the pears.
Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to keep the pears moist while baking.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and baste the pears with the honey mixture from the pan.
Continue baking uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork.
For an optional crunchy texture, garnish with chopped walnuts before serving.
Serve warm as a dessert or with a scoop of yogurt or ice cream.
