Make these simple, tender baked pears infused with warm cinnamon and sweet honey. This easy roasted fruit recipe creates a comforting dessert perfect for cozy nights or as a healthy finish to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 firm pears (such as Bosc or Anjou)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a small baking dish that fits the pears snugly.
  2. Wash the pears. Cut each pear in half lengthwise. Use a melon baller or small spoon to carefully scoop out the core and seeds from each half.
  3. Place the pear halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
  5. Place a small piece of butter (about 1 teaspoon) into the hollowed-out center of each pear half. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter.
  6. Drizzle the honey evenly over all the pear halves. Add a few drops of vanilla extract to the dish.
  7. If using nuts, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the tops of the pears.
  8. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork. The juices in the bottom of the dish should be bubbling and slightly caramelized.
  9. 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 plain Greek yogurt for a contrast in temperature and texture.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of orange juice or a few thin slices of fresh ginger to the bottom of the baking dish before roasting.
  • If your pears are very firm, you may need to add 5 to 10 minutes to the total cook time.
