Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe but firm pears (such as Bosc or Anjou)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Prepare the Pears: Wash the pears under cold water. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the core using a spoon or melon baller.
- Add Sweetness: Place the pear halves cut side up in the baking dish. Drizzle honey generously over them and sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly.
- Bake Away: Bake the pears in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until tender and caramelized. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Add Crunch (Optional): If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts on top during the last five minutes of baking for added crunch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. Drizzle with extra honey if desired.
