Print Recipe

A simple and cozy dessert featuring tender baked pears glazed with honey and warmed with cinnamon, perfect for a fuss-free yet impressive treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe pears (Bosc or Anjou recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel each pear, then slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the core and seeds to create a hollow center.
  3. In a medium bowl, gently toss the pear halves with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
  4. Arrange the pear halves cut side up in a baking dish, snug but not crowded.
  5. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon evenly over the pears.
  6. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of honey over the pears, aiming for the hollows to catch some honey.
  7. Dot the pears with small pieces of unsalted butter (about 2 tablespoons total), if using.
  8. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract over the pears and sprinkle a pinch of salt.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until pears are tender when pierced with a fork and honey has caramelized.
  10. Let the baked pears cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use Bosc or Anjou pears for best texture. Lemon juice prevents browning. Butter is optional and can be replaced with coconut oil for a vegan version. Add chopped nuts in the last 10 minutes of baking for crunch. Monitor baking time closely if pears are very ripe to avoid mushiness.
