Bake pears until tender and top them with sweet honey and crunchy walnuts for a simple, warm dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe pears
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash the pears. Cut each pear in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the core and seeds.
  3. Place the pear halves cut-side up in a small baking dish.
  4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the top of each pear half.
  5. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the honeyed pears. Add cinnamon now if you are using it.
  6. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Serve warm. You can drizzle any extra pan juices over the top before serving.

Notes

  • You can use any firm variety of pear, such as Bosc or Anjou.
  • If you want a richer flavor, you can add a small pat of butter into the core cavity before baking.
  • This dessert pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt.
