Juicy pears baked to tender perfection with warm spices and a touch of sweetness—an effortless and elegant dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm pears (Bosc, Anjou, or Bartlett)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans), dried cranberries, or a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Wash and dry pears. Slice each pear in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds and core with a spoon or melon baller.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter (or coconut oil), brown sugar (or maple syrup), cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Brush or drizzle the spiced mixture over the cut sides of the pears, coating evenly.
  5. Arrange pears cut-side up in the prepared baking dish. Spoon any remaining sauce into the cavity of each pear half.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until pears are soft when pierced with a fork and caramelized at the edges.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts or dried cranberries.
  8. Serve warm by itself or with Greek yogurt, whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

  • Choose pears that are ripe but still firm so they hold their shape during baking.
  • Add a splash of orange juice or a pinch of cardamom for extra flavor twist.
  • To make it vegan, use coconut oil and maple syrup instead of butter and sugar.
  • Leftover baked pears can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
